The manual management comes with 25 m of 6 mm line, so the kit is built in 6 mm. The struts have a 1/8" air inlet; the supplied fittings make the adaptation.

A stainless braided hose links each strut to your air line. Near the wheels it handles rubbing, road debris and heat better than bare nylon line, and follows suspension travel without kinking. Recommended whenever the line runs close to moving parts.

They move the strut's upper mount onto the original shock mount of the front axle: bolt-on, no welding or cutting. Without them you have to make and weld your own brackets. They are specific to your axle (ball joint front axle). Reminder: an adjustable front beam is mandatory to fit the kit.

They mount the air struts on the original swing axle, with no welding. They are designed for vehicles from 1960 on; for earlier cars, the year you enter on the page lets us check fitment before shipping.

They replace the swing axle spring plates and set the rear ride height. "1" drop" (up to 1960): fixed one-inch drop, about 2.5 cm. "Adjustable": adjustable height, in an up-to-1960 or from-1960 version, as the part changed in 1960. "Without": you keep your current plates.
