Default Air suspension

Ok i know what you are going to say. "search to find it", but i cant. i am getting pissed off at the cost of assembling an air ride kit. im thinking of selling what i have to buy an AIM industries bag kit but i have heard bad things about them. i need to hear some feedback of what people have heard about AIM and whether bags or cylinders are more reliable and better lowering capabilities. i tried coils but i hate having to lower it like that so i dont want to go back that route, so any feedback would be great
but try to keep the ricer hating to a minimum

Yea...a lot of people on this board are against bags. What kind of car do you have? I do not think i would get bags put on a car, IMO I would put bags on a truck. For a car, i would use cylinders (as seen below)



Sorry if you have already seen this. I think this pick is badass.

i have a 96 civic hatch. a local shop said bags could bind and tear, but they are better to get low. i want to get my car as low as physically possible for shows and just parking. right now i have 4 parker cylinders, 2 tanks, 2 compressors, and airline. i still need airline fittings, valves, manifold, brackets, oiler and filters, switches, gauges and my tanks are black and i want them either painted to match the exterior or chrome. i was going to ask a guy i saw on here with a black wide body ek about his system but i lost his name.

Your best bet would be to modify a kit. For that delsol being on air, thats not low enough for me. You could easily have coilovers and drive with it as low.

lol, no. You'd never make it out of the driveway being that low, unless you don't like your sideskirts. That's about as low as you can physically get the car without actually body dropping it.

Air Ride Technologies sells an airstrut kit for del sols and civics, it's about 1600 dollars just for the 4 airstruts. http://www.ridetech.com

Would you like me to post some cars on cylinders, way lower than that without being bodydropped? You can go lower than that and that sol is not that low.

heres one just for kicks.
