- With the advancement of air suspension
and air suspension technology
throughout the last years,
more and more cars are capable
of being put on air suspension relatively easily.
Whether it be through a
specific built kit or universal kits
that can be made to fit.
This has caused some truly amazing
vehicles to switch to air suspension
versus other suspension options.
At the same time air suspension
kits for more common vehicles
have come down in price just a little bit
since they first initially hit the market
and especially with the introduction
of kits such as like the Airlift 3S System
and all that kind of stuff.
Kits are becoming just more affordable,
meaning that there are more and more
people finding it easier to put their car on air.
What's going on everyone.
I'm Gels from Fitment Industry
and on today's episode of The Build Sheet
we are going to be going over
some of the most common cars
that we see on air suspension.

And I can't think of a better time
to mention this as well but
we also have a give away going on
with Air Lift Performance right now
if you're watching this in April.
We have three new pieces of apparel
which are absolutely killer.
We have a T-shirt, a hoodie, and a jacket.
This T-shirt right here exactly.
Every five dollars spent on those
items earns you an entry in to win
a free Air Lift Performance 3P air suspension kit.
Let's talk about some of the first
cars that we always tend to see
go with some sort of air suspension.
They would be pretty much any
car from Infinity, especially as of lately.
Specifically G37s and their younger brother the Q50.
The luxury division of Nissan that just
tends to make cars that just look
absolutely amazing when their on the ground.
The G37, whether it be the Coupe or the Sedan,
really pulls off the aired out look
and they are usually paired with some
sort of three piece wheel.
Something like a leadcrons or a work.
The same goes for the Q50 with the
Infinity G Sedans being killed off
in 2013-2014, they were replaced with cars
such as the Q40, the Q50, and the Q60.
The Q50 however offers that refreshed
facelift and everything that made
people fall in love with the G35 and G37.
They're able to fit some pretty big wheels as well,
making them perfect candidates
for some Felgens, for some Rohanas, AG's.
Of course, you know, throw them onto
some air and a lovely, big-bodied car
on the ground is what you got.
We see these cars getting added
to the gallery almost every single day.
And we expect to continue seeing them
for quiet some time as it become
a little more affordable as time goes on
and people start to snag them up more and more.
As you have probably expect just by looking
at the title that Volkswagen is definitely
going to be thrown in the mix.
And if you're wondering which specific cars,
well pretty much anything that Volkswagen
has ever made, honestly.
But typically GTI's, CC's, and Jetta's
are what we see the most of.
The first car that I ever saw in person
on air suspension was a Volkswagen GTI
and I remember just wanting one so bad
after that because I thought it looked really cool,
they like moved and stuff like that,
it was all crazy and I don't know what
really happened because after that
I never bought a GTI.
I just bought a slow (beep) orange FRS.
Either way, cars like the GTI, CC's, and Jetta's
are just meant to be on air.
And 99% of the time they're going to be
paired with some model of Rotiform.
Whether it be something cast, or three piece,
or some kind of BBS wheel.
GTI's and especially older ones
can be picked up for pretty damn cheap,
which is a good factor and
why we see so many of them.
The Jetta's and the CC's come in the play
when someone needs a little more room,
maybe a little bit bigger of a car.
Maybe someone with a little more
responsibility I guess you can say.
Maybe want a little more functionality
out of a car because they are bigger,
but they still look really good.
For the most part, there isn't a whole lot
of exterior modifications needed to be
done to these cars as low, simple, and
clean look can be pulled off
really, really well and really easily.
A lot of the focus tends to go
into the wheel fitment and
the trunk set up where the air management sits,
which results in some
pretty impressive interior modification.
Kicking it on over to the good ol' US of A
there are some things happening that just,
you know, they're (beep) some people off
and I'm not talking about
anything political or anything like that.
I am talking about people taking modern muscle cars
and then just throwing them on some bags.
We've seen it a lot and I can't say that,
you know, I can't say that I'm one of
the ones that get mad about it.
I actually really like it.
And you can't tell me that you
have not at least once priced
out what it would cost to put a Charger on air.
You can't tell me that, it's a lie.
There's something about a big (beep) car
that puts on a good amount of power, talking some
11 wides in the rear while laying frame, that just (claps)
it's good, it's just really good.
There are a ton of modern muscle cars
in the gallery that are running some
sort of air suspension.
A good majority of them would be from Dodge.
Whether it's the Charger, the Challenger,
or a 300c or something like that.
Throw it on some air, slap some Ferrada's on it
a gurney flap for the wing,
maybe some after market lighting
like some halo lights or something like that
and you're good to go.
Oh, can't forget an exhaust, too.
An exhaust is very important.
We also see a good amount of newer Mustangs
and even Camaros get thrown in there as well.
And you know what, it makes people mad.
And you know who those people are?
We call them purists.
But you know what, I think it looks killer.
And judging by the amount that we see
in the gallery, a lot of other people do, too.
And to those out there who are doing it,
keep on doing it.
Now I know we just talked about some Euro cars,
but I feel like we need to
talk a little bit more about them.
More specifically like a different part of that.
Otherwise I feel like the comment section
is just going to implode on itself.
Like I said, there's a whole another side
to the bag European car scene,
and that is big bagged European wagons.
A4 Vance seem to keep coming across
my IG feed for some reason
and I can't say that I'm mad about it.
But I tell you what, these German
car manufacturers make some
pretty damn good looking wagons.
Three series wagons and these
giant Audi's belong on the ground.
Prove me wrong.
So much that there's almost like a
brotax that has been developed around these cars.
Wagon tax, I don't, can you say that, wagon tax.
Is that fair enough to say?
I just feel like wagons hold their value
really, really well like their always
more than of the regular car.
And yes, I say wagon weird.
I'm from Wisconsin, we're just going to get over it.
But there's a good amount of them
that we've seen and almost
all the time they're on air.
Very similar to the Volkswagen's
we just talked about, there isn't much
needed to make them look really good
outside of some wheels, outside of air,
and of course, the attention to detail
in the trunk set up in the interior.
And of course here and there,
a roof rack or a roof box, almost a given at this point.
Just a trend we haven't seen die out quiet yet.
And then last, but certainly not least,
the final car that we see quite a bit on air,
the one that really tends to get quite a few
people upset would be none other than the Subaru WRX.
Now its no surprise that this car is on the list
because there are a lot of bagged Subaru's
out there running around in the world
that we live in today, and people
just get really, really upset by
the fact that you're taking a car
that was rally inspired and then just
taking that functionality out of that
and then just throwing on some air suspension.
And then going to car meets, and car shows,
and stuff like that.
It just makes a lot of people upset,
but you can't deny the fact that there are
some out there that look really, really good
and it's a popular thing to do,
especially with the newer body style WRX's
and STI's and things like that.
They're just, you know, they just work.
They are already a bit wider of a car
so you can fit some pretty decent size
wheels on them without having to worry
about like over fenders and things like that.
Similar to the (murmurs) and the G37's
and stuff like that work.
So people are throwing multi-piece
wheels on, some pretty wide wheels on.
Getting a fender to lift fitment and
then of course throwing on air suspension
to tie it all together.
And this is something that is, you know,
it's a popular thing to do.
That stance thing is still lingering out there.
Even though more people are tending to switch
to more of a meaty tire set up with not
as aggressive of a wheel, but still fitting
air suspension in getting as low as possible.
And it's definitely something that I
don't expect to end any time soon.
Unfortunately, those guys that are out there
that don't like bagged WRX's,
I think it's going to be quite a while
before you see that end.
That's going to go ahead and wrap it up for today.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
