How it works
From compressor to laid out, in four stages
An airride system replaces the coil spring with an air spring and adds a compact compressed-air plant. Compressors fill a seamless tank, a V4 valve block meters air to each corner, and the P3 management holds the height you choose.
Compressors build pressure
Twin silent compressors draw air through a filter and feed a seamless steel tank. Most street systems run a working range of roughly 120–150 PSI, with auto-drain water traps pulling moisture out before it reaches the valves.
The valve block meters air
A four-corner (V4) solenoid block opens and closes to fill or exhaust each air spring. Independent corners let you level the car on a camber, kneel one side, or lay it out evenly.
Management reads and holds height
The AIRBFT P3 controller stores presets and monitors tank pressure. Pressure-based management holds a set PSI per corner; height-sensor management holds a measured ride height regardless of load.
Air springs carry the car
Bellows or an integrated strut airbag replaces the coil spring. Air is progressive by nature, so the spring rate rises as it compresses — that is why a bagged car can ride softly on the highway and still resist bottoming out.
Answers
Air suspension questions, answered
What is air suspension and how does it work?
Air suspension replaces the coil springs with air springs (bellows or integrated air struts). Compressors fill a pressurised tank, a valve block feeds or exhausts each corner, and a management controller holds the height or pressure you choose. Because air is progressive, the spring rate rises as the bag compresses, which is why a bagged car can be soft at cruising speed yet still control body roll.
Is air suspension legal in South Africa?
Air suspension is legal on South African roads provided the vehicle is roadworthy at the height it is driven: headlights aimed correctly, no tyre or bodywork fouling, and no compromised braking or steering geometry. Drive at a sensible ride height, keep the system leak-free, and have the car aligned after fitment.
Does air suspension ride better than lowering springs or coilovers?
For daily driving, usually yes. Air springs are progressive and the AIRBFT struts add 32-segment damping adjustment, so you can run a soft highway setting and still firm up for spirited driving. Coilovers remain the choice for fixed-height track work.
How low can my car go on AIRBFT air suspension?
That depends on chassis, wheel and tyre fitment and whether the boot floor or chassis rails have been notched. Most cars on a correctly specified AIRBFT kit will lay the sills within a few centimetres of the ground, and rise to well above factory height for driveways and speed bumps.
What does a kit code like V4-P3-C2-T3 mean?
V4 is a four-corner valve block, P3 is the management generation with LCD remote and Bluetooth app control, C2 means two compressors and T3 describes the tank specification. Message AIRBFT South Africa with your vehicle and we will spec the correct combination.
What is included in a complete AIRBFT airride kit?
Front and rear air shock absorbers, double bellows sets, P3 management with an integrated solenoid block, a 200 amp relay, a seamless air tank, dual silent compressors, dual auto-drain water traps, the full wiring loom and air piping, a fuse holder and fittings — everything AIRBFT, nothing mixed and matched.
