Most of the cars have a classic suspension, which consists of levers, shock absorbers and springs. A similar design is used on the "sevens". The suspension on this model of cars is of a double-lever type, so it is somewhat more complicated than on the “nines” and the like. But you can install the air suspension on the VAZ-2107 without much difficulty. We will talk about it now - we will consider all the advantages, disadvantages, the composition of the installation kit.
What you need to upgrade
In order to install the air suspension on the VAZ-2107, you need to carefully study the design of the car. This will allow you to complete all the work as quickly and efficiently as possible. If you have never de alt with the repair and maintenance of the suspension, it is recommended to entrust all work to professionals. You will have to buy a kit for installation, modify the body elements, and lay the pipes.
The complexity of all works lies in the fact thatsome moving parts need to be connected to fixed parts. At the same time, it is imperative to ensure the quality of the connections so that hoses and pipelines are not damaged.
Advantages of air suspension
Such suspension elements were originally installed in large quantities on Citroen cars. By the way, even earlier you could find such improvements in American cars - craftsmen (usually Mexicans) installed air suspension on their cars, and thus they stood out from the crowd.
As for the French cars "Citroen", they really liked the consumers due to the fact that comfort increased when driving. Therefore, when installing air suspension on a VAZ-2109 or any other model, you can improve comfort and achieve optimal rigidity.
When driving, you can change the ground clearance, depending on the situation. Therefore, you can maintain the same clearance value for any vehicle load. The center of gravity of the vehicle is also lowered. This type of suspension is very resistant to overloads. Due to the fact that you can adjust the rigidity, you can load the car to the maximum without damaging the elements of the walker. Also, the behavior of the car when driving will not change.
Mount kit
"Seven" - it's just the perfect car in terms of modernization. It is so flawed and unfinished that it takes a very long time to improve it so that it at least looks a little like the average budgetEuropean or Asian vehicle.
When installing the air suspension on the VAZ-2107, you need to purchase a kit that consists of the following components:
- Hoses, pipelines.
- Four “Rolling” pneumatic elements.
- Reconfigured lower control arms.
- Receiver (air tank).
- Electric compressor.
- Wires and connectors with fuses for connection to the on-board network.
- Electric valves, pressure gauges. The quantity depends on how many pneumatic elements are installed on the vehicle.
- Central control unit.
- Mounts and brackets, nuts, bolts, washers.
Please note that it is best to buy well-known brand equipment so that all documents are included in the kit. If you perform work in services, then you will also receive a guarantee, which is very good.
How to install the pendant?
When installing the air suspension on a VAZ, you must perform exactly all the manipulations described below. It is best to work in a spacious and equipped garage or workshop. The algorithm for carrying out the work is as follows:
- Install the car on a viewing hole, disconnect the battery. Then you need to completely remove the front wheels, place supports under the car.
- Completely dismantle the stock suspension, and you will no longer need springs and lower arms.
- Instead of a spring, you need to put an air cushion, which should rest with its upper end againstcup.
- Put a new, slightly modernized lower arm. At the same time, it is recommended to install new silent blocks.
- With the rear suspension everything is easier - remove the springs, put air bags in their place without alterations.
- In the engine compartment, install the receiver, compressor, valve system. Next, connect them strictly according to the scheme.
- To the on-board network, then you need to connect the control panel and the compressor.
As soon as you complete the installation, you need to carry out commissioning. Be sure to check the fastening of all nodes and pressurize the system. Only after pressure testing can the car be tested on the go.
A bit about operation
The air suspension on the VAZ is unique in that it can be used to change the ground clearance almost instantly. In addition, if the car is moving at high speed, its stability increases. Some fans of "collective farm" tuning cut the springs to lower their car closer to the ground. At the same time, it is very difficult to move over bumps - driving on a "speed bump" turns into a test.
If the car has air suspension, then you can lower the car to the ground on a flat road. And when obstacles appear, it can be easily lifted, and over a long distance.

Mercedes Vito is a very popular minivan in Russia. This car is in demand due to powerful and reliable engines, as well as a comfortable suspension. By default, the Vito is equipped with coil springs front and rear. As an option, the manufacturer could equip the minivan with an air suspension. But there are very few such modifications in Russia. Most of them already have suspension problems. But what if you want to get a minivan on pneuma, which originally came with clamps?

Xenon has good light output when compared to conventional halogen headlights. Such optics shines 2.5 times brighter than standard. In addition, xenon consumes much less energy, and the car itself spends less fuel. Way savings will be less than one percent, but that's something. Well, the main reason for installing such lamps, of course, is the brightness of their glow
