Why air on this car
The Toyota Vios XP90 Type 2 is a small, light saloon built to a budget, which is exactly why it became one of Southeast Asia’s most modified cars: strip out the little weight the factory left and there is not much to stop you dropping it hard. On coilovers that usually means a car that crashes over every expansion joint and grounds its front lip on the first speed bump home.
Air suspension keeps that low stance for meets and photos, then lifts for the drive there, over speed bumps and steep driveway aprons. The Vios carries so little weight to begin with that the ride at a sensible driving height stays composed rather than harsh, useful if it covers daily miles too.
Both top mounts are the original factory items, reused rather than replaced, keeping the car’s standard mounting points and everyday manners intact. Struts and Bags suits an owner who already has management; the tiers above trade simple pressure control for finer, corner-by-corner adjustment as you move up.
What's in the kit
Struts and bags
Struts and bags is the air suspension hardware without any management: four vehicle-specific struts with 36 levels of damping adjustment and the air bags that go on them. Choose it if you already run management you want to keep, or you are buying the RC1 or RC2 controller and tank separately.
Who it suits: Owners keeping their existing management or choosing their own, who need only the struts and air bags.
- Four vehicle-specific struts and four air bags
- 36 levels of damping adjustment
- No tank, compressor, valves, remote or wiring included
- For existing management or separately chosen RC1/RC2
- Bolt-on fit, no cutting or welding
- Rubber top mount standard; pillowball optional
- Contents

Universal
The entry kit. Four 36-way adjustable struts with air bags, a 20-litre tank, compressor and a pair of mechanical switches with a dual-needle gauge on a bracket. You raise and lower the car by hand from the cabin, reading pressure off the gauge. Bolts on with no cutting or welding.

Super Performance
Super Performance moves to eight solenoid valves and pressure sensors on all four bags and the tank. Each corner can be set separately, and the AFH memory remote shows every pressure on screen and holds four saved heights. No cabin gauge or switches are needed, and the faster valves cut a full height change to two to five seconds.
Who it suits: Drivers who want corner-by-corner pressure control and saved heights, with a damping tune aimed at handling.
- Eight solenoid valves; each corner adjusts independently
- Pressure sensors on all four bags and the tank
- AFH memory remote with four saved heights, plus a simple remote
- Low tank pressure warning and key-on height recall

Gold
Gold adds a height sensor at each corner.

Going struts and bags only?
Five years against oil leaks, with a service every two years
AirForce covers its air suspension struts against oil leakage for five years. To keep that cover, the struts need to come back for inspection and maintenance every two years; the manufacturer treats the service as a condition of the warranty, so book it in and keep the paperwork.
Damage caused by suspension components rubbing against an inflated air bag is not covered, which is why we ask your fitter to cycle the system to full height and check clearances before they hand the car back.
Compressors, air bags and the electronic control box and remotes carry the manufacturer’s separate terms, and electronic parts may need to go back to the factory for repair. Ask us for the current wording before you order.
None of this affects your statutory rights as a UK consumer. If a product is faulty, your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply alongside the manufacturer’s warranty, and your contract is with us as the retailer.
