Does anyone know about these? do they work good and are they safe to install on a car? Lambo door kits would be wise if installed(bolt-on) to tack weld in spots?

Air ride suspension kits with being totally adjustable will it mess with the framing?

 

I hope you are kidding

so you want to drill the tacks in the door and replace it with a new hinge? and thread and bolt it?

aftermarket "lambo door kits" arent worth the mild steel they are stamped out of

why not just run a bead on it for additional strength....i mean **** how long does it take to strike and arc....

you're car is unibody......ya you can safley bag your car if done properly.no need to C notch **** (ie in trucks)

 

 

I'll give you the honest, not-going-to-make-fun-of-you, reply:

Lambo/vertical door kits are shitty quality materials, and the chassis wasn't intended to bear the different type of load that those kits place on it. Quality wise I think they are piles of ****.

Even *IF* there were kits that are made of high quality materials and not cheapo pot metal I'd still never, ever consider the kits. I think they look absolutely ridiculous, and over time you might change your mind too. If you really, really want the kits then by all means do them, but I'd not weld anything in case you change your mind and decide for yourself that you hate them, and want to take them back off.

I hate air ride suspensions too, but i'll still refrain from making fun of you, or completely dismissing the idea.

Air ride can be done the "right" way and the "wrong" way just like coil-overs can be done right or wrong.

If you were to do air ride you'd want to buy proven stuff (sorry I can't help you with what is "good" air ride kits) and you'd want to determine a "set" ride height in which you feel you'll be driving the car at most of the time. If your set "regular" height is low enough then you'll want to buy camber kits to achieve the best possible alignment at that height.

Once you set the height at the reasonable cruising hegith you'd want to have an alignment done so that when you drive at that height the tires won't get destroyed.

Every time you change the ride height - even half an inch - the alignment settings change, and the more the change (higher OR lower!) the more drastically the alignment gets thrown to ****, and kills tires.

The problem with air ride, or hydros, or any real time height adjustable suspension is that the more you use it, the more likely the very bolts that you tighten to set the alignment loosen, so you'll probably need more alignments than regular cars due to the constant up and down, up and down. If you have camber kits the bolts will come loose way sooner too as you change thr ride heaight up and down a lot.

As long as you don't go crazy and try to emulate the "bounce" or the "three wheel" **** the unibody won't sustain any damage.

I mean in theory air ride is a cool concept - ride most of the time at a lowered, but reasonable height, then slam the **** out of it to look cooler at shows and drive-ins, and even raise it up at or even above stock to clear driveways ingresses, speed bumps, etc.

Problem is that most people use them to bounce the car, slam the **** EVERY time they see someone under the age of 30, or they buy shitty kits that suck to begin with, so they leak, sag, etc.

I just think they're pointless for ME because I enjoy handling - you can kiss handling goodbye with an aior ride kit.



Overall both of the items you have suggested are the exact opposite of what this message board is about. In fact a lot of people who showed up to this site wanting to do mods that are considered "rice" have been "converted" into people who choose to do actual performance mods to cars rather than 100% cosmetic stuff.

I'm not saying that you need to drive around a fast, beat to **** car to be cool, but I think over time you might realize that Lambo kits, body kits, air ride, etc. etc. isn't a trend that will last the test of time.

Good luck in what ever you decide.

 

please dont get lambo doors.
but i personally have air ride, get the kit from air lift company. rides way better than stock and you can tuck rim when you want. it has fully adjustable struts. i dont have a problem cornering and i have a friend with an srt-4 that puts down 400whp that has air ride too. he loves it. if your gunna be a hardcore track person i wouldnt recomend it, but if your just going for a upgrade in looks and suspension then you can get air ride, only takes like 2 days to install.
and in response to the post above, i've had air ride for three years and never had an alignment and my tires wear evenly nor does it pull. and never had a problem with any bolts breaking etc.

I didn't say bolts would break - I'm just saying that above the regular hitting bumps, etc. raising and lowering the car constantly using air ride only adds to the likelihood of bolts loosening.

Also it depends on how its being used too. You might not bounce the car around and ****, but more people do than not.

...and air ride or not I can't see how you wear tires perfectly even unless you ride at near stock height and an alignment was done wta that height.

People lower their cars on expensive, amazing race suspensions and they still ruin tires because they don't get the car properly aligned.

Like I said have the car aligned at your "regular" height and as longas you don't drive for extended amounts of time slammed it shouldn't wear tires out worse than regular cars.

 

yea durring daily driving it is near stock height but i do play with the switches quite a bit, i have slow downs on the valves so it goes down very slow and not fast.
but yea 3 years, no lose bolts etc. had the same set of tires for 2 years and have 30k on em. no camber issues.
but i will say that air ride is "easy" but "hard" there are alot of things to get it all set up, but once you learn all that stuff its easy.
i will tell you that your gunna spend almost $2,000 on air ride.
main reason i purchased air ride is my driveway has a huge slope at the end of it, even at stock heights i have to go in at an angle so it doesnt scrape.
my civic tucks rim all the way around when slammed, but no you cant drive like that.

Personally, I'd like an air suspension for this very reason: so I can lift it up for those rare occasions when I want to drive on poorly-maintained dirt/gravel roads without bottoming out, without having to hitch a ride with someone with a truck. The rest of the time, I want it to be slightly lowered, and perform as well as a regular suspension.

Unfortunately, I don't see much on the market that fits this criteria; most of it seems to be aimed at the "lowrider" crowd.

There is a company called "Praxis" (or is it Praxxis?) that makes an air-ride kit for the WRX and for a BMW, which has separate adjustments for ride height and spring rate, and seems to be oriented directly towards performance applications rather than show. Unfortunately, there's no Honda applications (yet). They do have a place on their website where you can request they make a kit for your car though.

I also saw something here on h-t a while ago which was a small airbag that was added onto normal coilovers, and normally would be deflated. When inflated, it would lift the car 4 inches. It was pictured on an NSX, and set up to ride at normal NSX height when deflated, and then lift 4" when inflated for clearing obstacles, driving on bad roads, etc. Unfortunately, it was extremely expensive as I recall.

 

Do what you want everybody gives me **** on my car if you like it do it. don't let anyone else tell you how to build your car, that is why it is YOUR car not theirs

 

Nice...we hade a post delete party here!!! Checkout civic4life13s homepage and let the hilarity ensue. But dont post it here cause it'll get deleted.

 

I'm not looking for YOUR opinion about what looks good and what doesn't I was looking for tech support about framing issues and what nots about these kits..... it is obvious that the "HATERS" out there talk **** on the net and can't put out in the streets and I don't care to hear negitive **** about that.... Maybe the "Mods" of Honda-Tech should rewrite the rules to Hate everyone and Who cares. You have your car.... If I have an answer about it I will never Hate on you nor give you my opinion unless I have done it and wasn't pleased with it. I had air ride on my truck and loved it just didn't know about installing it on the civic because of the unibody. And the lambo doors i was asking about the structural **** about that. I do appreciate the folks that have answered my questions and it is great that it was what I was looking for. If the lambo kits are flimsy I won't be purchasing them. I will do my reserch on the air kit for the civic and would appreciate a good web site for a kit. I use to get everything from my buddy Steve Nelsen from Cando Specialties for my truck. I'm not out there for the performance and I would never rock CHROME wheels either. Thank you for the answers to my questions and hopefully some peoples on here will grow up instead of hating all the damn time.

this is most likely the wrong site for tech support for this subject

 

and how are lambo doors and airride gonna help you "put out" on the street? Oh yeah! your a bigger taget to get ripped off by a drug dealer... good job son...

 

Well, this thread has gone downhill in a hurry.
