Pick up a copy of Lowrider Magazine at your local newsstand. You'll find the dealers throughout the magazine. Sorry, never heard of ricky racer.

yes my kit came with accumulators but the car rode so good without them!! it rode better than when i had coilovers on it!! I was like what the heck i need these for AIM INDUSTRIES say "with the accumulators the car will ride like a CADILLAC" I was like if it rides any better than this it wont even ride like a lowered car so i didnt use them but in the case of lighter cars like CIVICS they need them. but using the accumulators also slows down the cylenders reactions SO YOU CAN GUESS ELECTRIC 3/8 VALVES 3/8 LINES NO ACCUMULATORS MY SYSTEM IS SUPER FAST "IT DROPS IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE"

mine is super fast too, i can hop the rear end 4 inches from the ground, but i try not to. the front goes up quick, but the tiny ass compressors are getting removed and the 3/4 hp comp is giong in in about 3 weeks when it is back from paint. i can only throw up the front 2-3 times up and down before the comps need refreshed. i never installed accumulators on an eai kit, you dont need them, not even with smaller cars like tegs.
