Posted by eclipzza97rs, Oct-01-02 10:45 AM
i did my research and more search, and finaly bought the air cylinder kit.
like they said u get what u pay for. so i got the best from the-hack-shack
the car now goes all the way to the floor and about 2 inches higher than stock. ajusted at prefered riding hight. got 10 swiches so i got all the functions. ride quality is better than when i had coilovers.
i'll have some pic later

sorry.....I'll take some pics today
regarding racing......im still street racing with no problem.
it handles the same as with no air. I got good cylinders so that helps.
and no it does not go low on sharp turns.
and if it did i would notice it cause i got psi gauges for each cylinder.
some one had posted that u had to get out of the car to check.
any questions????????/

^^^What he said......

What kind do you have? How much did it cost for everything? Is installation much tougher than installing struts/springs?

Ive heard they have problems in cold weather......true?

Where did you mount cylinder gauges?

How do you deal with camber?

Im very very interested in getting an air ride, please fill me in.

p.s. Pics would be very nice. Detailed pics showing cylinders, air lines, compressor setup, switches, gauges..... :-)

i have had my set up on my avenger for maybe a month now, as far as racing, i wouldnt do it, the suspension is very stiff, you bounce a lot, not bounce like a blown shock, but bounce from the bump, thats the best way for me to explain it, installing on my car was pretty hard as far as making everything look clean, we make brackets and what not to make everything look as factory as possible, as for cold weather, i have heard that too, but it hasnt been cold where i live, and you cant really do anything about camber, unless you can come up with a self adjusting camber kit. air ride is cool, but its a lot of work, i am still working out the bugs in mine, i have already blown 3 fittings, 2 were 4 year old fittings i was giving, and 1 i busted because of all the pressure i was running the back
