I recently installed the Airlift suspension for the GR Supra. I had a bag pop in the rear left and got it replaced via warranty. Prior to, I thought it was my own installation at fault in terms of fitment since it popped on the control arm from a singular bump on the first drive. After inspection when installing the second bag, I have been running into issues and I am curious if someone has either run into this issue before or has any suggestions.
For starters, the front suspension works perfectly, zero issues, the rear however does not and I am running stock suspension until I can find a solution. In the rear left, the air bag is about 1/16th of an inch from the upper control arm so any bounce will guarantee pop it and it has a ton of room behind it to the rear toe adjustment arm. The rear right however, is rubbing on that toe arm and has a ton of clearance to the control arm. So it seems as though the whole rear subframe is "rotated" . I've made sure it's fitted and installed properly multiple times and am still running into the same clearance issue. I'lol attach the two videos I took for reference.
It's worth noting that I have also taken this to two performance shops and neither have said they have noticed anything terribly off. No arms bent, no shifted bolts, and nothing out of the ordinary besides a very minor alignment fixing needed (like 2 degrees of toe in). The only thing that was noticed was a possible bushing that needed replaced.
Have you guys ever had any clearance issues with GR Supras before? I'm trying to decide what to do here, I want to run bags but they're just sitting in my garage and I can't until this is fixed. Is it possible aftermarket upper control arms and toe arms from SPL would help or is this issue elsewhere? If there's anything else I can provide I will gladly do so.
