Well my LCR was up for sale but due to the turbo going, I have decided to keep her. So the problem I have is that my car is pretty low. Options:

1) Standard Suspension
2) Coilovers
3)Air Ride

I am looking into the 3rd option as it is the quickest to adjust.

Has this been done on a LCR (sure it has) I have done a search but I got a lot of results and didn't lead to what I was after.

Any one know any good companies that supply and fit.

thank you please!

i always thought air shocks would be shocking (hahahahaha) for handling, but after the cars at work, cayennes, panameras etc have had them fitted, and been taken around the track at silverstone with them, they are amazing. im guessing its like buying any suspension in the after market world, buy cheap, buy twice ?

ive been looking quite hard myself as i'm getting it on my lcr soon! i have been told you can fit a mk4 golf kit onto a lcr.. but you'll need the best part of 1300 just for a basic kit.. a decent one is 2000 plus because of the management system! oh yea dont forget fitting but if you change suspension, you could fit these kits! ps there is also a coilover airide system too where there is an airbag that sits on top of your coolies!

Havair.. Plush Automotive.. Gwerks.. Rayvern.. theyl all do a good job.. Depends if you want paddle valves.. electric solenoids, fancy management.. 4way or 2 way, how bigger tank, how many compressers etc.. quite a bit to think about but most companys will advise you.. If you want to go mega low, some bags are better than others too... theres a good thread on E38 all about airride, ill see if i can dig it out

I would recomend not getting fbss, as I ended up converting mine to FB! Bagyard seem to be a big name in the air world these days.
