air suspension

[Mpsychotic]

Hey MiniTrucker... how do cylinders affect the handling of the car? Will I still be able to swing tight turns? And can set a certain ride hight for the car? EX. Could i hit one button and raise my integra 2 inch in the air, then i can hit another botton and go back to OEM ride hight? Anything that presets certain ride hights? thnx

ive put cylinders on a lot of hondas and acuras, and the handling has never been too bad. of course a set of coilovers will be much stiffer, and you cant swing corners any harder than you could with say a stock suspension. the comfort level is much better than with springs or coilovers because you get more travel out of the cylinders.

as for the ride height, its up to you to set the ride height where you want it, depending how long you hold the switch, there isnt really any way to make the car only go 2 inches or whatever on its own, you just gotta hit the switch to where you want it.

I am also interested in getting an air system. I once read a magazine where a dude setup an air system on his truck but used HP Scuba tanks instead of compressors\tank setup.

He stated that with the scuba tank, he didn't have to wait for the reserve tank to fill up between use. Plus scuba tank hold anywhere from 3000-3500 psi and only cost about $3.00 to fill and was good for a large amount of moves.

I'm interested in this setup. I think it would cut the cost of the setup becuase you don't have to buy a tank and an air compressor.

Has anyone ever tried this? Is it do-able?

str8maxn: what you saw was either a co2 or nitrogen bottle, i have one on my truck. i got a big one thats about 4 feet tall, and its mounted in my bed. i also have 3 compressors and a 6 gallon tank, because it does get pricey to keep filling the bottle every few days. so what i do is run the compressors for regular use, and when i want to hop or show off, ill turn on the regulator at around 250 psi (normal systems run at 150 or so) and i have an instant source of air, that allows me hopp if i want to.

[Minitrucker88]

oh yeah one more thing, isnt a scube bottle filled with at least part oxygen? i dont think i would want that in ym car due to a fire risk. the co2 and nitrogen bottles are non flammable and are used for welding.

hey minitrucker thanks for answering the q's for us
one more question could u just post a list of parts and components needed for full setup around price too if you can this is for getting peice by peice before the setup for example if i get the full setup for lets say
$ 2200 in that deal i might not be getting the best air compressor that i could and etc.. but if i do it peice by peice i can week by week go all out on each part so i do this one time and no more u get what i'm say

so whats your truck got by the way do you have any pics to share of diff examples of stuff we could accomplish with these cylinders ...u catch my drift

how does this sound 1 fenner stone pump, hydra-z eight dump manifold,Hydra-z accumulators,8inch front 10 in inch rear SKINNY cylinders,two batteries ,4 switches
how does that sound to you and what are skinny cylinders are they better
and what do you think the price on this setup would be around

p.s. are those some of the nbest manifacturers for each part if not wich are better
