    Do you mean something like Polyair bags which stop the rear sagging - if so they are easy to fit - go to their website. Cost $225.

    nah dude like proper airbag suspension setup with digital controller and large compressor in the boot. height adjustable you know ? except without getting it done at the impound, and hopefully is easy enough to do at home

    You're talking a different language to me! - airbag suspension as used in trucks and for levelling rear suspension on cars when overloaded also powered by a compressor in the boot is not uncommon, but I guess you're talking about raising the rear about 1 metre or whatever which in my part of the world is uncommon...... As for the 'impound' - in New Guinea back in the 60's that was where the 'locals' used to be kept when they 'misbehaved'....but I guess that's changed as well.

    thanks for the link mate have asked them about a kit for a solid rear because the ones listed are all drop in for IRS. their only fitter in ACT is the impound as i was afraid would be the case. Who else would take a shot at it ?

    you can buy the kits from them and then install it yourself, its not as hard as you might think.

    pretty easy to install your self mate , put in the airbag instead of a spring . wire up the compresser/ controller , run airlines to airbags and off you go

    cheers mate, will give it a go, just wondering if IRS/solid makes a difference to the airbag kit ? any particular brand favoured? probag/tubular suspension etc

    You can only run whatever type of suspension you have in your car.
