what do you got?
I want what jltibbs wants with the preset ride heights and stuff. I need it for a 92 G50. I don't know whether to go with coilovers or air.youngq45r wrote:Hey man, Sorry ive been away. Havn computer problems. I hate livin in the sticks. Anyways, the bag setup i was talking about wont work for the Q. The bags are too big around to the front. they will rub and take a chance of blowing. It is dooable, but thats a lot of work.
But, I found another option. Its a Universal Chapman Ait strut kit that you swap out for the OEM strut. Now there is some cutting and welding that needs to be done. They make the lower sleeve bar extra long so it will fit many makes and models. All you have too do it bolt up the strut on top. cut your lower bar the the length you need, weld it in, and your done. It is a lot easyer than the other way i was talking about. Your right around 400 for the front air struts. And 400 for the rear Air struts. Plus (give or take) another grand for the rest of the kit.
So $1800 for the complete kit? Pictures of this this kit?youngq45r wrote:This is the kit i am going to get!!! Right here. As soon as i sell enough of them. haha (Hint Hint) The more that i sell the cheaper my own kit will be. But seriously, I would be playing with the are a lot, so i would use dual compressors and dual 3 gallon tanks instead of the single 5 gallon that i posted. I would also add valve mufflers. What they do is regulate the drop speed. and quiet the PSSSSSSSHHHHHH sound when you lay out.
Thanks.youngq45r wrote:Unfortunatly that is the cheapest system for pre set controled height.Any other systems you just watch your gauges and remember how much PSI you use for each position you want.We have your Standard PSI gauges.Standard & Dakota Digatel gauges,for these gauges you need to run an air line to the back of your gauge.These systems use standard toggle switches,paddle valves,or a switch box.The other one I have is a Digatel Gauge System that uses electric sending units that you tee off of each bag.With this system you push a button to raise or lower your PSI which is displayed on the gauge panel. My preference is the digatel gauge system it cost $200.00 and is the easyest and cleanest system to use.
This WILL make you car look great. It will give you the option to chose your ride height! you can ride so low that your wheels rub! (i wouldnt tho) or at stock height, Or where ever you want. Plus AIR Struts ride soooo freaking smooth. Its alot beter than straight bags. Because it is a strut, not just a bag, it still corners good. How good depends on the PSI your at. You get the combination of the strut shock and the air to get an amazing ride. And when you are riding low, and come up to a speed bump, just hit a button or switch and......................................... there you go! you just lifted you car to clear anything you could of cleared at stock height. trust me. you will not be complaining about this set up. It is worth every penny!! And im not trying to just be a sales man, im serious. AIR is the way to go!Haitian_King wrote:
Thanks.
I'm still a little confused though. I just want to lower my car and make it look great, but I don't want to seriously impair driving performance. I don't want to have it lowered and get trashed trying to get over a speed bump, you know?
