i dont know anyone that would touch such a job.

hell of a responsibility on anyones hands tbh.

mk3matt

is it a big job then?

Dave Henshall

its not just a matter of the bags,

there is the body sensors, mods to the body for them fit, the loom, the ecu - very specialist, and could cause death or serious injury it not right!

Do you mean Airbags as in the large things that defen you in an accident, then imbed your sunglasses permanently into your brain. Then burn your exposed flesh.

Or (as I suspect) do you mean airbag suspension?

Anybody who had the required talent to do that job would know better than to try!

suspension lol

airbags have only one connection? ive removed and fitted loads in salvage cars just unbolt it and bolt in the new one, just make sure the batts disconected prior for atleast 30 mins

brad

what suspension kit have you got ? is it one of rays kits or is it something imported from the states ?

oops maybe i missread lol

mk3matt

no you didnt miss read mate, i just put 'airbags' origionally!

im not sure on the kit, its a friends car, it cost Ł1200, i don't think it came from the states though!

tbh the best person in the uk at the mo is Ray (rayvern hydraullics) he probably does one or two dubs every week with one of his bag set ups but if its not one of his i doubt he would be too helpfull .
the best thing to do in your mates position is go onto this forum http://www.unitylowriderforum.co.uk/ and let the guys there know as much detail on what you have with the kit , there will be someone there that can guide you through the whole fitting process .
afaik fitting bags on a golf is a pretty straightforward procedure should be simply swapping springs for bags and conecting up the air lines to the compressor and tank and wiring up solenoids and control box BUT if its not a well built kit you may need to do some mods on the cars original set up .

was gonna say - as i re read the top now and its clearly air sus bags,

no idea, never heard of them being fitted to a golf tbh, but im not very well up on the golf scene.

i presume he means air ride.

Rayvern won't (understandably) touch anyone else's kits. He makes his own.

You could always try www.xquisiteautomotive.co.uk for fitting.
