ya it depends on what size valves, compressor you have. i've seen a civic that they did, it was crazy quick. so i know mine will turn out good. these guys have come out in magazines and have won a lot of awards so they do good jobs.

I'm not really to familiar with them so enlighten me here..
are you talking about Hydrolics ??? What kinda power source do they run off of? How many switches ? I would like something like that, You know , ride low as hell, then when you pull up to a speed bumb, hit the switch and watch everyone STARE ! Sounds Cool!

Better be quick with those switches when you come up to that Taco Bell cup sitting in the middle of the highway! A truck in my complex has air, a couple of tanks sit in his back bed. It's always amusing to watch when he pulls into a spot and stops, just hear a big pssssshhh as the truck falls toward the ground. b |

I give you props!! Do your own thing, that would be nice to be able to drop my car however low I wanted it at the flip of a switch-instead I have to take my wheels off and readjust my coilover.(too damn long)
Some days I want it sitting on the ground and others I want it a bit higher. Definitly post up some picks-I wanna see this |

ya, that's exactly why i wanted them! i was gonna get coilovers, but i think cylinders would work so much better, plus they definately get so much attention. and the little pssssss sound, that's great...but maybe that's just me
anyways to answer your questions 4jacks: no they're not hydros..those are the lowriders, and they run on oil. those things are messy. cool for competitions, but not for me. they run off of the battery i'm not sure if that's what u mean. but they basically just use air. u have a compressor full of air, the air runs through the valves to fill up your cylinders...which allows you to move your car with the hit of a switch. i hope i explained that right. it's cool cause it's so easy to lift your car up to go over those darn speed bumps, then drop it back down as low as you want. and there are usually about 10 switches, at least that's how many i'll have. i think it's: 2 for side to side/2 for front to back/1 for each corner/i can't think of what the other 2 are for. hey i'm still learning about all this too...and i'm sure once i get them i'll be an expert well maybe not, but i'll sure know more!! |

Congrats on the Air decision....I have seen a few rides w/ it and it's very schweet..It's nice to adjust the ride on a switch as opposed to jacking it up loosening and tightening the collars then repeating the process for each corner..
I can;t wait to see your ride after it's done. Good luck and definitly share the pics. I'm sure you will be pleased w/ it..  |
