Re-bagging the d2 4"

i have played alittle around with airbag systems and i have found that type of bag can be rough in a lightish car... how does it ride in the D2 empty?

Dont know yet, Im sure it will be fine, D2 is over 2t:cool: and never empty:cool::cool:

you made a comment in another post on how the D3 air worked differently to the D2,,
it sounded at the time like "we" could just we-work the lines and make it perform better.

did you want to expand;) on your idea??


sorry Baffle,, it sort of fits together,,, ;)

Might be thinking of harlie's post here:

Simply fit a shut off valve to the top of each spring or fit a 3-way diverter and cross link….

Either way the more info the better. I will hopefully be around at Baffle's place today to see how things are done and getting these bags this week as well ;)

Full marks should go to Baffle sourcing these and doing what a lot of us SLS users have been wanting for do for so long.

yep,, thats the one ,, sorry slunnie;)

the 3 way diverter and crosslink sounds interesting---

Wahoooo we need to cross link this badboy!

I also fixed the issue of the SLS fighting wheel travel in our previous car - a D1 that in 1998 I fitted the EAS system off a 93RRC Vogue. Its the same logic as the D2 but physically not as bad because the RRC monitors the front wheel heights as well – that the key missing from D2 and that is why it is much worse in D2.

Fix for D2 requires some plumbing and a mod to the sensor circuit if you don’t want the SLS lights on the dash – if the lights don’t worry you, just some plumbing.

PM time - you can ring if you want details.

Im in Harley,


Ok, Bags in, extended height at the moment is 900mm from bottom of rim to bottom of flare in the photo with the wheel on and the back of the car jacked up, the wheel can go down an extra 40mm making 940mm, there is an extra 20mm there but that is just hanging the wheel, you need more pressure in the bag to get the extra 20mm, I have to get a 40mm spacer for the top instead of 20mm to get the bag to compress to its proper limit.
Original hight with 2" lift was 750mm

So at a 4" lift I have 110mm extension at the moment, tomorrow I will have aprox 150mm:D, new shock I can see, the 110mm hit the limit for these.
I cant wait to get some articulation to have a look

I hope all this makes sense, I've fried my brain today with figures:confused:.

Missed IceFyre today maybe tomorrow.
Any advice welcome :p

Yours Mark

Oh, drives fine:cool::cool:

just as a guide,,,,,,,

mine,,
from the bottom of the mag to the flare is spot on 700.

must be a better way of doing brake and sensor lines,,,

Pedro_The_Swift, so yours is stock with 16" rims and then push your lift button to make 740?, mine had originally the 18"alloys so that should read 725mm odd

ballsy brake lines, hes going to make up the lines and see if he can do anything with the sensors :): All local:)
