#26080, "AIR CYLINDERS OR AIRSTRUTS/BAGS!?? SOMEONE HELP!"


          

I have blowjax front 4" struts and 3" rear struts. There the biggest struts possible for the rear...
Everyone who has rear air struts for there MItz. Seems to have problems with them leaking. I have problems with them leaking. From the start they have gotten worse. I'm thinking of some alterative brand struts. Airbags are possible with my car by very expensive, (almost $300 each.)

So far I have found Parker cylinders which should never leak again...or Air Struts which have a strut with a rubber surround.

I do not know whether to go with rear cylinders or air struts. I hear the air struts will ride much better but durability isnt as good as cylinders. Cylinders ride rough, but use little air.. So you all give me an opinion.

Are you doing this for LOOKS or performance.

If the latter, throw those pieces of shit away. emoji

Ive owned 2 awd 20g cars, alot of fun ,, but I wanted to also build a flashy car before i grow old! I love the air system.Its fun, pretty rare and I pull alot of hoes with it! I just need opinions on the question cylinders or air struts.... This 2g gs is slow is shit and I wouldnt waste my money into making it quick so i dont care about performance. After haulin ass in a 20g for a few years my cars speed is a joke. But its VERY reliable...
