yeah so i installed the air cylinders a week ago and finally got some pics. i've only got the rears in right now because when i put the fronts in and lowered it, the damn thing wasn't very low at all (still had like a finger's worth of gap). so i put my coilovers (same ones as here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=399992 ) back in the front for now untill i have the brackets modified to lay it lower. i still want the rear lower too.










the ride quality is super kush. they ride sooo much better than my stock springs/struts that i had in temporarily right before the install. i can't wait to get the fronts in for this reason alone.

alright, i'm ready. bring on the flames and ****-talking!!!

 

i'm feelin the dump!

 

Damn, lookin like TUCKleberry Finn!!

 

DIRTY drop dude, I am feeling the dump...


Just one question are those rims 90 CRX SI rims? they are 14 inch correct?

 

i'm diggin it!

 

whats the longevity on those air-ride struts , what kind are they?? what if they blow are they warrentied?? and last butnot least How are they compared to a similar drop on adj shocks and deceant springs like sprint 3" x1000?? sorry bout the crappy spelling. if worth getting i would prob get a set..cuz i like to be dumped but have a lil 1 1/2 yr old girl doubt she would like to bounce everywhere ya feel

 

nice man..much props to you..

 

how much does it cost?

 

i had a 95 accord that i put some $30 air shocks on all the way around,i ran nitrogen to them and the fukin thing laid on the ground.then i had a kit on it and it sat perfectly on the ground i could not drive the car at all ,but i said *** the kit and i drove around all laid out takin out road dots.when the car was like half laid out it rode like a caddy.it was fun stuff

 

nice but it could use a drop.

 

How does this work?

 

there's a difference between air struts and air cylinders. air struts usually have an airbag within them. airbags are made of rubber, and you know what the elements and weather can do to rubber. cylinders are all metal, and mine look like this:

i got mine from Cool Cars ( http://www.coolcars.org ). as far as warranties go, it depends on where you get them. top end companies like EAI ( http://www.excentrixauto.com ) will warranty theirs, but they're really expensive.

compared to springs/struts, these ride better than any i've had/ridden on. you can play with the psi in the cylinders to achieve a smoother or stiffer ride.

 

slap in some air shocks ,run some lines get some kind of air like co2 or nitrogen a regulator for the bottle and some switches and thats all ....with some minor fab work

lol

They're just air cylinders that can be filled with air to adjust the height. You can mount a compressor in the car to feed the air, or just use a air hose to fill them up. I had a couple of friends with those on their trucks. Kinda fun

 

yeah you have pressure switch that detects pressure in the tank. once that pressure drops below a certain psi, it'll kick the compressor on. you run airline from the tank then to the valves. which open and close with switches. then run airline from the valves to the cylinders. this is an electric system. manual systems are basically the same, but there's no valves and the switches control air flow. manual systems are way way slower than electric valves, with cylinders at least.

install is pretty easy, everything's straight forward, but i found out it's EASY to have leaks. which can be a pain in the ***.

here's a pic of my half-*** layout for now. it's only temporary i hope as i'm gonna start upgrading and adding to my kit very soon.


here's my switches (all 2 of them ) and pressure gauge. all the messy wire is because i was too lazy to hook up illumination, so it'll be gone soon...

 

 

I went to texas heatwave and all those guys had like 100lb nitrogen cylinders in the back and didnt have a compressor.

 

laying rocker, as we say in the minitruck club, is badass

 

pretty damned cool

 

Word.

 

ar....okay..good for you

 

First place at this years SLAM FEST

 

Sweet, this damn rain we've been having lately sucks though. At least you can raise your car to drive through the puddles. No hydrolock worries at your house.

 

bad *** drop!! props... love the wheels too . but i think you got them on the wrong sides. it should be chopping forward!

 

that ef looks badass dumped on those crx wheels
