Im so Sick of This Shit !!!

[Noxidea]

Well anyways , Im just bitchen about Speed Bumps , Pot Holes , Raised Centers of Rods , Steep ass Inclines into parking lots / Driveways , Im ready to make a huge decision , I never have been into the whole Air Bag thing BUT right now im deciding on air ride struts , I dont want to do these speed bumps and shit anymore but I LOVE the DROPPED SLAMMED look , so there is only one fix im thinkin air ride it and be happy , no more scraping around ,

Reason for this rant is basically cause of my situation the past couple days

-Went to get an easy quick oil change before driving down to mass / Car wouldnt fit over the floor bay it scraped on the metal lip

-drove to mass to get a friend from his college / 35 fuckin speed scrapin bumps later finally out of the college with torn up mud flaps and exhaust

-driving on highway hit a slight pot hole "so I thought" / ripped up my right front tire and ball joint

-Pulled into a wash bay self spray setup and the slight incline into the bay scraped lip and undercarriage OUCH

These things alone have me in the market for some Air Ride ...
Im thinkin about this kit that ive seen thts plug n play can anyone suggest some setup thats nice , I dont want anything slow and I want to be able to auto ride height when car is turned on and then play with it when needed

Send anyone and everyone that knows anything about air ride on our accords my way please , thanks

I always hated when kids and their lowered car cam into the shop. had a hell of a time getting it onto the lift, or getting the lift arms under it. I was glad when the shop manager started a new thing where lowered cars got charged an extra $20 for any service requiring them to be on a lift. half that charge went to the tech doing the work.

Putting air ride,bags, whatever to raise and lower, your going to run into other problems. mostly eating tires. You'll buy more tires then it's worth. Why not just put coil overs on it and lower it to a good hight so you can drive the car over speed bumps, but still look nice low.

I know if u set a ride height and drive at that height you wont burn tires up , as long as u align the car to that ride height setting , I cant see myself driving slammed and would only drive raised over speed bumps into parking lots etc ..

I dont know if i like the coilover idea cause it would never be low enough and by the time I put it at the height i like it would be down where it is now . so it wouldnt make much difference , Ive noticed i dont think most cars are low enough for my taste even with coilovers , its all about the look LOL

I dont know I was kinda bitchin before , I think i might like the air ride cause im gettin old and dont race around much anymore , who knows we shall see .. but I know i want the air struts not bags themselves cause I heard something about being able to adjust dampening on the strut type setup .....

thanks for the info though

Pics of your car as it is now??? I want to see how low it is.

[Noxidea]

I will try to get one , I think my springs have settled alot or something cause all the pics in my profile are higher , could blown shocks make it sit lower , I always thought it was just the springs that make it sit at certain heights , but it looks alot lower than it was before , I cant place my toe of my sneaker under the mudflaps , there is about 1.5" from mudflap to the ground , its low

Spring is what determines the ride height. What springs are you using right now that is making your drive so difficult?

[deevergote]

If your shocks are blown, you're more likely to just smack into things...


There's a new member on here named Lang. I met him the other day, he's a cool guy. I think he has an airride setup for sale if you want it.

[HenRoc]

Sean you should know this by now man. Potholes are enemies of ANY owners of lowered cars who live in MA and parts of NH and ME lol.

You shouldve seen me trying to drive Dan's (GraniteCb7) car, I had to cringe everytime we hit some of the worst roads in Mass, its unbareable for me and I dont know if id put a car thru such torment.
