    Fully Adjustable Air Suspension Lift Kit

    Hi, I am considering retaining airbag supension by using arnott gen 3 airbags all round and an e-level air management system

    So I can fit the car in my garage and also lift it up for when I am offroading hopefully 3.5+ inches

    Does anyone have experience with a setup like this?

    Arnotts are supposed to be betterer (!) than standard, but... because the bag is clamped on, they won't roll off or 'air-out' on fullest extension.
    On the other hand, if you damage the rubber...the whole unit gets chucked.

    I'm guessing you've got a Classic ?

    Personally, I'd start with maximum height from taller tyres, as the bags only lift the chassis and body above the axles/diffs, which is good for entry/exit and hump clearance, but does nothing about the suspension and axles hitting taller lumps etc.

    29" (or 29.2" for the Obsessives among us...) is the factory size for your 205 R16. and 235/70R16 = exactly 29"

    31" will lift everything by one inch

    (2.54mm - if you follow the herd, but 25.399999999988697000000005029835 mm if you're an independent Thinker....)

    If your new-fangled aftermarket height system is too enthusiastic, you may find compressor life is shortened....

    Looking at another air tank and dedicated compressor ? Every little bit helps !
