If you mean this setup:



it's my car.

TLsMD

you got any other pictures?

pgordash

What kind of pics are you looking for? I have a bunch while we were doing it. Just let me know and I can post what you wanna see.

DesertFox

im just curious what would happen if you got hit in the back and the tanks were ruptured

pgordash

It would not be that bad at all. It's only 200psi of air. I've disconnected one of the lines when the tank was full and although loud, it's pretty uneventful. I am sure that if we had yearly inspections that it would not pass, but luckily we do not. Just have to watch my rear view a little more carefully It's worth saving my trunk space.

Yes, Thank You.

How Is The Ride

pgordash

The ride is great. You can feel expansion joints and tar strips a little more but I attribute that to the 19's with the 235/35-19's.

sheikh3.2TL

I was thinking of having air ride but im still confused. how long did u had urs? what was the cost, and how long did it took to installed?
post some pic of sitting all the way down and up pls. thanks

sheikh3.2TL

so u r saying maybe with some 18's or 17's it will be aiight

sheikh3.2TL

how about if i keep the stock ones

pgordash

The car is in storage now so I cannot jump out and take pics of it up and down. I'll see what pictures I have, but they will all be air'd out (who takes pics in 4x4 mode).

Here is a link to a complete kit:
http://www.easystreetair.com/index.a...ROD&ProdID=297
That's $2400 and has everything. Those are the same struts I am using.

Depending on how technical you are, it should only take you a weekend to do. The struts are as simple as replacing a factory shock.

thats mad hot..nothing beats air ride, just like those lincoln towncars, pure smooth ride.

sheikh3.2TL

it is hot no doubt. the only reason i wanted to see it 4X4 is that we get flooded around here in louisiana so that is for just in case. did the ride quality change when u race from stand still. sorry to ask u this many question bro

pgordash, you're not still using stock springs are you?

I didn't see anything in your signature about which ones you have so I didn't know.

BTW, nice setup

Did that kit that there's a link to come with those tanks and setup or did you have to buy different tanks?

RidinDurty

pgordash, you mentioned that the Accord kit you posted has the same air struts you are using. Do you have a problem lifting the front end of the car? If not, then will i have that problem with that kit you posted? Reason im asking is because i noticed you have a different set up than the one you posted. Same struts but different set up. I would really appreciate any/all the help you could give me here. This is a lot of money being invested on air suspension and i would like to get off on the right foot here you know? Thanx.

edit: Also i wanted to add this kit to the system http://ridetech.com/productinfo/levelpro.asp only the LEV7000

I noticed they have their own digital kits but this one seems to be higher quality and has 3 different settings you could save and the easystreet only has one. Would this be like a bolt on to the easystreet kit or what?

pgordash

For my setup I am using the Airlift struts for the Accord. I talked to Airlift and they removed the TL as an application because people were not using enough air to sufficiently get the front end off the ground. They told me (and were correct) that if I had 200psi behind the struts I'd have no problems. The tanks I used are two 2.5 gal tanks from Viair. I am using a Viair 480C that fills the two tanks to 200psi. If you run less pressure you will never the the front end off the ground (TL's are heavy). For valves I am running 3/8" GC 350's with 3/8" line going to each strut. For gauges I am using a Dakota Digital Odyssey with 5 senders showing all bag pressures and the tank pressure.

KSuchdeve - The air strut replaces both the shock and the spring. The air bag is technically an air spring.

RidinDurty - The Air Ride Tech stuff is very expensive for what you get. You can source out the pieces much cheaper from places like http://www.suicidedoors.com/ .

The only thing I need to do is put some flow controls on the lift valves for the back as it is too quick to adjust easily. I could have gone for a smaller valve on the lift but I already own them now.

pgordash

sheikh3.2TL - With full lift I am probably a couple inches higher than stock. At that pressure though the ride is pretty stiff.

thanks......... i will try to see and buy these individually and see how much money that i can save.
