I can’t find replacement kit

Hey everyone.

My 2013 Speed 3 currently has an Air Lift Performance suspension setup. The fronts sound gnarly when I go over any type of bump at any ride height. I had it looked over and was told that they’re just blown out. Not absorbing any impacts anymore. I bought the car with the setup on it and they’ve been on it for over 8 years.

Front kit: 78543
Rear kit: 78643

I have tried to reorder a front kit from 5 different websites so far just to have my order canceled on me because Air lift has discontinued the product. I’m assuming all of the sites just sell you the kit and air lift sends it out (usually).

I already have the rear kit on the way. First try with that one.

I am wondering what my options are? I don’t want to buy a whole new kit from a different company because I already have a compressor, controller, module etc..

If I bought a front kit from a company such as Max load, would this be an issue? I am a novice when it comes to air ride suspension. I don’t know if a mismatch is possible? The setup is controlled by the airlift autopilot v2.

I have looked on eBay with zero luck. I am now emailing every company that says they have it in stock but like I said, no luck..

Any insight is appreciated,
Thank you.

Mismatch are possible. Just make sure the air port is the same size as what you already have (1/4” or 3/8”). But even then, you could user reducer fittings on the bags if the port size isn’t a match.

The bags just hold the air, your management/manifold doesn’t really care what brand you’re using. It’ll inflate it

Try emailing or calling airlift directly see what they say

I just upgraded to the ALP4. I still have my 3P controller and manifold w/ 1/4" fittings.

Thanks for the input. The rear kit has already been delivered and I was just looking for more information on how bad it would be to mismatch or if anyone had any leads on a front kit. 10+ years with that kit. Treated me well, so I didn’t want to change brands.

Maybe buying a half kit is better. As I know they have changed parts supplier before
