Looks pretty low dude...That rear bumper is a little too much for me, but it looks OK...

Hey...Are you the same dude as "mycivictucks17s" from Eric's board?

Nice ride man!!
How did you get your wheels to tuck so much?
Did you roll in the fenders, do they rub?

I am debabting wether or not i should roll in mine.
I'm kinda chicken tho. i dont wanna wreck em.
Anyone know the correct way of rolling your fenders?

i didnt roll the fenders. they are a 40 offset and they tuck great. they dont hit n e thing. i cant drive it that low cause i cant turn the front wheels(then they hit) but other than that they dont rub.

I betcha that compressor is loud as shit in there? its in the rear right? you should think about separating it from the tank and puttin it under the car... (providing you havent already done something like that ;) )

actually its not loud at all cause we have it under the box for my system with fans on it.

Nice ride man!!!! :eek:

What's the ride quality like? Is it bumpy? I don't know anything about air suspension systems.

the ride quality depends on where u have it set. it rides pretty rough tho..it likes to bounce around on the highway but it still handles really good

that Civic is layed out real nice. you thought about cutting the strut pockets and custom fabricating a way to move the cylinders up higher to make it lay kit? a guy i know, did that to his 99 Civic hatchback and he lays kit when he has his aired all the way down. also are you running fast valves and where did you purchase it from?

mycivicisonair

yeah they r fast valves. i got the kit from chasis tech. it goes down way to fast to have it lay kit cause it will end up breaking off. goes down too fast in my opinion

..there's ways to slow it down, like puttin thinner line on the exhaust side of the dump valves...there's better ways, I just have to think a bit...

i cant use smaller line cause all my fittings on the valves and the cylinders are for 3/8" line...i would have to replace all the fittings and i dont have the time or money to do that. so if u do know of n e other way let me know
