there like right down the road from me, but i got 2 5gallon tanks, and 2 450(s) compressors, billet. F/B/S/S, it drops it alot,

heres what it looks like all the way down in the front...
side

side big

front big

rear...not all the way down i dont think



im waiting on Air Ride Technologies to release there air struts, since im gonna be going turbo soon, i need something that can withstand some power, and handle good. Which Air Cylinders definatly are not for.

yea its awesome when you pull up to some one thinking there cool, and then just drop it on em, its great, i just have to work some kinks out of mine, like i have a wireless switch box, called "the airbox" and its really tiny, and so hard to get ride height, so i have to get a normal switchbox also, and then.. sometimes it picks up other frequenceys and lowers by its self. that sucks, and my driver/front air cylinder, when i hit a big bump it looses pressure some times, i dont know why, gotta check it out, and the my back air cylinders i need a small camber kit so that when i lower it all the way down, by purpose or accident it doesnt hit my air cylinder because it rubs a gash in my air cylinder and grinds my rear wheels, didnt mess them up or anything, just knocked the wheel weights off, but ill get stick ons when i rotate my tires. if i wouldve gotten any other front bumper i would be sittin on tein coilovers and there dampening system but my bumper sits so low if i wanted to get rid of any wheel gap my bumper would still be on the ground and i would end up breaking it, so my answer was air ride. im gonna find out if air ride technologies air struts will solve any of my problems, but im waiting untill i actually ride in a car with them, my buddys putting them on his car in a few weeks, so ill find out if they are as good as they say they are, and see if they lower just as much.

thanks! im pretty happy with how it sits. you should see how the rear looks in real live it cambers and looks so sweet.

i got my kit around 1800 for the setup but installation and all my extras like digital air gauge and ish, cost around $3000 probably

my buddy has wholesale through cool cars and owns a buisness, so he could make you a good deal, i just had alot of upgrades, and extra stuff. if you lived in ky i could probably get you hooked up pretty good.

how fast?> depends, i could go really fast if i rode with mine low to the ground because it doesnt bounce as much or sway, but my front bumpers so big, that like ruins it for me, so im thinking about getting air struts from air ride technologies, there suppose to be for "handling, and speed...." so they say, if there crap they better believe there goin back. there supposed to be released soon, ima check em out.

I have a full setup of Air Struts that have what you need. Only thing needed to make them work on an Eclipse will be new shackles for the bottoms to mount up to our car. Whole kit is Parker 4x4 cylinders, 2 Polished 5gal Tanks, 2 450 cfm 100% duty cycle compressors, all the lines and gauges, and everything you need. Shoot me mail if interested. We had everything on my GF's car for like 3 months until she felt a need to trade it in and get a truck. The thing is fast though, if you run it wide open it will hop your car. I had hers getting all 4 wheels off the ground for a while til we turned it down.

FRAG02.... I am pretty sure u emailed me about ur kit... Do u know anything about how it is set up. Thanks for the offer on having your friend hook it up for cheap, but I would kinda like to do it myself( or with help at least) that way I know what to do when it is broke and it is cheap(free install) Anyway if u kinda have basic setup.. maybe a drawing of urs(where your compressers are, valves, wiring, plumbing) anything will help!

Later

I've got full air ride on my car also. I run dual 6 gallon tanks, dual compressors, 8 valves, EAI cylinders and brackets, full electric 10 switch setup w/ front, back, side-side, and dog-leg with reverse pressure. I built the rack for the tanks and compressors, but everything else was handled by Mr. Scrape Customs in Sumter, S.C. All together it cost me $2100, that was for everything, plus a 1 year warranty on parts and labor.

The Hack Shack sells very affordable kits that can be bolted on and done in a day. just search google for "The Hack Shack", they have shops all over the U.S.
