Ques. For anyone with air ride

Aight i was looking at the new euro mag and i see this ad for a new bolt-on air kit for the 88-00 civics, the company is CCE for 995$.....but theres also an ad for another kit through AIM for the same price.....i was wondering what one i should get, does anyone know if any of these companys are any good?

my friend got an aim kit for his 89 civic hatch back good kit but shitty store, didnt give the right brackets for the front and took 3 weeks to get the right ones so know what brackets you need before getting a aim kit

oh and he payed 1200 for his

yeah, i heard AIM really screws people with shipping, and they always seem to screw up the order, your friend payed 1200$?......includeing shipping right?........anyone know how CCE is?

no there is an aim here in phoenix
but he told me he payed 1200 not sure if that is true
i think he jacked the price on me cause he wanted to sell it to me

- if i was to get a Air System , ( and i am ) would this ( + a hose kit ) be all i needed ? what else and where can i find it ? air system (http://www.truckn-store.com/product.asp?returnURL=default.asp&ID=19096) cept, i wanna prolly get it from somewhere else now im hearin all sorts of bad stuff bout em, but jus needed to know if this is all i need to go up and down :silly2:

Thanks

let me think been awhile since i helped install a air ride kit

brackets, cylinders, hardware, valves, hoses, switchs, tank, compressor, compreser switch and hook up shit
and there is probally more just that is what i can think of off the top of my head

ok then , sounds like a plan, i got to look for new peepz to get a package from, if i cant find one, i'll just take my chances w/ AIM, and if u guys find one ~ tell us ~! thanks

my friend on fullsizechevy.com says they are crap and that everyone hates them and thinks they are crap so i wouldn't take ur chances

got mine through aim and have had no problems. 996 shipped. i have had them in for a year now and nothing has gone wrong with them. that cce kit is an awesome price. if they still have that special going, id get them, if not get the aim kit because they work just fine.

yeah,either kit will do jus fine i guess, but the picture that AIM have look so much better than the CCE picture.

aim doesnt make bad stuff just dont give right parts

If.. pfff.. i mean.. WHEN , i get my air system, there wont be no welding or hardcore 10/10 type work being done right ? Cuz right now , i got enough modifying going on with my car, and i'll prolly jus end up hiring some pro to do it the old expensive way.. + i dont wanta screw up :rolleyes:

if i remember right no it is all bolting on and screwing
but i could be wrong i forgot has been like 6 months since we installed my friends

How does air suspension handle? Does it lean a lot on corners or is it pretty stiff if you don't have the bags inflated all the way?

I was wondering the same thing just how does the air rid and handle, is it bouncy at high speeds, i like going fast and i like to show so will the to work togther well. i know it can't handle like a set of coilovers, but just how good will it handle. and help please, i have a full air set for my car, that is only going to cost me a tank and some hose, we just got a car in the shop a few days ago totaled with airride on it so i am going to strip it but don't want to put it on and not like the outcome.

My friend jus put air ride in his del sol, hes only 15 so he can't drive it yet. But me and him drove it up and down his block hitting the switches and shit, it was a good ride, nice feel, but i don't know how it handles at high speeds, i mean its a show supspension so i would imagine its not that great but its not bad either, its a lil' stiffer than stock, but hey its worth it cause you want to jack your car up, flick the switch, and if you wanna slam it do the ground.....flick the switch.....and as for the person who said how do bags handle on our cars, well, we don't use bags, bags are for trucks and shit, but you could use air struts on hondas, but usually air cylinders are ideal for civics

the ride depends on the postition of the air cylinder
if it is all the way up it is stiff
but if it is all the way down it will bounce do to the expansion of the cylinder
just ride at half way, that is what all my friends do
and most kits tend to pull at high speeds so dont play with switches on freeway

- H3LL yea, im learning alot

now i think i'm defidently gettin some, i just got to finish all these other projects in the making :rolleyes:
