dont quote me, but i belive that airstrut installation is as simple as unbolting your struts, bolting in the airstruts, and running air lines from the strut tower to your compressor in the trunk.

Air struts are probably gonna give you a softer ride, im not sure. but i did hear that you can't go as low as cylinders can. Im currently installing cylinders on my civic, should be done in a week hopefully

thats cool, im tryin to get one of em' . I just want to get a ride that gets low and high whenever i want And do the Cylinders, Struts, or Airbags need batteries ?

i know a decent amount about air ride now that i have installed it in my car with a friend. No you don't need extra batteries with cylinders/strut bags....but you do with hydrolics, right now though my battery is a puny peice so imma upgrade to an Optima yellow top. but no, no extra batteries, unless you got a huge sound system or something.

cool beans - u or anyone know which would be best to go with ? as far as reaction time and dependability ? And cheapest place to buy em' ?

well i bought my kit from Nick(yellow 4-door) but you can either get them used from a buddy or get em new from AIM....alot of people hate on AIM but they are fine, the new kits come to like 1,110 with tax...but my air ride and my friends air in his delsol is fast with reaction, its not slow at all, i don't know about dependability but jus ride easy when you install it and dodge pot holes and you will be aight, and keep up on the maintaince, like oil the cylinders/clean shit, make sure everything is working and no leaking, should be fine
