Airbag suspension Not sure if any of you ran into this, but my Airlift Airbag came with no instructions. No big deal as it was a 10 minute part to install. I ran the pressure at 20lbs to start and found the car still spun a bit when I stalled it up. A friend of mine just got an Airbag for his car and it included the "secret" instructions that were left out of mine.
To set up the right pressure, footbrake the car and measure the both sides of the rear bumper. Adjust the pressure in the airbag until the both sides are equal under load. For me this took 30lbs. Before I started adjusting there was a 1/2 inch difference which tells me it wasn't doing it's job yet. Now both sides are even which should provide equal traction to both wheels.
Hope this helps for anyone who didn't get instructions with theirs.
