I'm constantly raising and lowering my car, I'm wondering who to buy from and what kind of budget?

 

a kid I know did it (not on a honda) and he said all told he has about 3500 in it.

if your going to bag your car....sell it and get a VW.

 

^^^^^^ WELL SAID^^^^^
Do not put your civic on bags this isn't fast and the furious !!!
Rice is not nice! Go with Jdm much easier to sell than a body kitted out shopping cart handle spoiler and BAGS! if you want bags pick up a vw or a mazda b2200 . Do something tasteful with your car like shown here.

O BTW you can get it low enough with just either ebay coilovers (caution: will F*** up tires if not done right) though it may be a bumpy ride. Otherwise spring for the extra cash and pick up some legit adjustable Coilover with shock towers and all it would be way better than bags you get the low you want you can adjust them to whatever height you want and it can cost ya about a grand two 2 grand depending on the brand name/quality

 

Thanks for all the 'help'... my car is pretty slammed already. I have legit coilovers on it already, I don't need to go LOWER - what I want is to be able to go from stock height to being dropped FASTER. My car has two functions - daily driver & show car. With my stereo in it, I weigh in 400lbs over stock weight... coilovers aren't really appropriate.

So here goes again, "who to buy from, and what kind of budget?"

 

wow, this thread drew the idiots out.. so we should either buy a vw or stick with a complete **** ride on ebay coilovers?

OP.. i'm looking into using universal air's aerosport bags over my koni's for myself. what are your requirements for the system? that'll directly relate to the cost.

and are we talking about the 92 civic in your signature??

if you need to keep costs down for now you can use piece together your own kit using manual switches and a regulated compressed air tank setup. only a couple hundred plus bags and lines. may have around $1000 tied up into it all said and done. a few sites off the top of my head for bolt in kits are airbagit.com and suicidedoors.com there are plenty others if you google. kits from $1300-$4000. space is a problem, but there are so many strut bags out there these days.

i'd avoid air cylinders.. no shocks means **** ride/handling.

you can spend a fortune on this stuff and you don't need to. the only users honda sites like this that'll even touch this sort of thread are a bunch of teenage kids riding on **** coilovers with bad alignments trying to consider themselves purists of some sort and have no real idea wtf a good airbag setup can do, what it costs, or where to buy it. (honda people are usually about a decade behind the rest of the automotive whether it be trends or technology)

your best bet for any kind of quality advice is to adapt what you learn from minitruck and vw forums. stanceworks and such sites also have forums which have great advice in air suspension specific subforms as more and more people with all different makes realize coilovers suck for street cars looking for low.

 

Hondas and air ride needs custom work to drive low. Bolt on setups won't let you drive very low with out sacrificing ride.

Hydraulics work better and ride better if you like it low.

 

Actually instead of bags you can do cylinders, and if it is set up correctly it can handle plush or race. I had set this up on my del sol years ago. basically the cylinders have 2 ports for air top and bottom. you set your height and stiffness by adjusting the top to bottom ratio. expect to spend some serious cash though. Plenty of drag cars use them, and I have heard other motorsport cars use them.
