Yea me too my friend talked to you for a minute I think but by the time I got over there no one was really around so I snapped my pics and left. But in any case, whats the scoop with your suspension? my friend said Air Cylinders instead of bags, true or not true? Other than that any of the specifics you could give me would be great, ie. day to day driving, how it compares to coilovers and adj. struts for performance, cost, etc.

Really appreciate any info you could give me and the whip looked great.

thank you for the compliment...

BlowJax Air Cylinders...
2 medium size compressors...
1 5 gallon tank...
brass fittings and valves...
1/2" DOT tubing...
Air Techniques digital gauges...
Individual wheel controls...

its fun... not great for everyday driving... kinda scary.... I always have the fact that a line can pop as I drive 80 down the highway... It draws alot of attention at traffic lights while i flip switches.. and planted too....

as far as the ride... its tight.. at the right setting... really bouncy at too high or low of a setting... I drive an Integra everyday now... I used to drive the CL like this for about 6 months everyday.. I highly dont recommend it for that usage!!!

airbags and cylinders are very different first off...

bags are very bouncy... much like LINCOLNS which run on factory airbags... cylinders are an air version of hydraulics... They are safe in ways... however I (me) do not recommend it for everyday driving... I know guys that drive on them everyday.. but the dont live in NY (pothole / bump hell)...

with both you alwasy run the rtisk of a line, cylinder or bag popping or giving out... I has happened to me already... fortunately it was a slow leak that gave way when I was already stopped!!!!


thats all!!!
