Same with ford fairlanes like my daily. They had an rear airbag setup to level the car once a trailer/caravan was placed on the tow bar, Since it was $1000's to fix it once it broke most people replaced it with coilovers once it died.

yeah, factory 'yota bags are pretty average, especially at this age, while its mad fun droppin the ass and liftin the nose on hindley street, theyre pretty useless really. dampening sucks. you can buy 're manufactured' bags from an american company called 'arnott industries', but they have a fairly short life span apparently. hell, you can even buy air struts with bilstein inserts through them. pumps you can find second hand, but even then theyre crazy expensive ($1000 private, up to $2000+ from a wrecker). just get coilovers.

dont be put off by the rather high spring rate you tend to find for coilovers for these things though, theyre heavy beats, so 15-18kg front springs tend to be the norm.

:edit:

pm sent dude, also check this out, stance in the us, theyve got 5 types of coilovers, from your base model stuff all the way to remote reservoir racing stuff, thats a link to the GR+ which is 1 step above entry, 18/10kg springs, which is normal for 'yota gear. enjoy.

then theres; HSD TT Series, HSD HR Series, ISC N1 (says its only available for 97 on though, might wanna check with ryan), and racing logic.

lol but can those stock airbags be modded easy to get the wheels bouncing off the ground?

nope, for a start the air lines and valves are WAY too small, along with an asthmatic compressor and tired pump, theyre pretty useless, takes forever to lift and drop. only way youd get it bouncing (or moving faster than youre average snail) is a very large airtank, one pump per axel, upgraded compressor, 1/2 inch or bigger lines, and suitable valves... and you know, new struts.

oh Dave some people have no taste :blink:

haha, yeah, its pretty ordinary...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
