Blew one out like a month later from using it too much. They don't hold up too well in extreme climates, just so you know. And frankly, I would stay away from air suspension all together. Too unreliable. _____________________________ Your Forum Turbo Groupie... Also your official Forum EF and GTR Brain-Trust (in reply to ohbiskits) Post #: 7

RE: AIR RIDE SUSPENSION - 5/2/2005 1:34:43 AM    GetLayedSkivik Posts: 18 Joined: 5/2/2005 Status: offline hey bro, first off you do not want to "bag" a civic., cuz u would have to do some serious mods to get the bags in there without them getting riped and damaged every time you play with it... you are going to want to put cylinders on it. Those kits you see for 8-900 bucks are just going to give you problems. they are a good template to start out with though! You will just want to up grade that sh*tty thomas 250 compressor to a rockin Viair 450. and change those 3/8 lines out for some .5 inch pluming... then you are going to want to replace those valves that come with it (after they blow anyways) with some new parker valves. O yeah... and u may want to look into getting some custom made brackets for the rear of that civic... those kit ones are pretty flimsy. its worth it tho dude. lots of fun, my buddies have them on their trucks, and another dude has some on his civic. never had a problem ever in 2 years. best thing about cylinders is even if they leak and dont fill up... u can still drive the car... you will be low... but not scraping. where with bags... if u blow them... u arent goin anywhere but on the back of a flatbed. and as far as the ride... its honestly not that bad... the noise of the compressors filling the tank is more annoying.. but even that only lasts a few seconds im runnin 2 viair 450s, 2 5 gallon tanks, .5 inch hoses, parker valves, and wireless switches. its fun. do it _____________________________ Hittin Switches... Baggin B*tches... I changed my sig... in an effort to try and stop hurting peoples feelings. :-) (in reply to grncivicvtec) Post #: 10
