naw, only thing is that the bigger rims you have (max of 19" i think) the better it will look. look at platcavi's sedan with 19" rims and an easy street kit.

THis is my car on AIr with 17" rims.
It looks good and is damn fun to play with and turns heads.

But the ride is not to great yet better still than Hydros.
After a year and a half I had one bag pop and another was about to pop. SO I just swapped back over to some drop springs.

Why would you not be able to put airbags on your car?
Just because you have it lowerd now will not matter. THe struts and springs you have on the car now will all come off and be fully replaced with new struts and air bags.

sorry to jack the thread, but how was the fitment on that kit? there's a shop down here that quoted me 350 for the full kit.

DID you mean to say $3500 and not 350?

If so then I Hope that price is installed.

Im in Houston TX and the minimum a shop charges for Air installs is aboput $1500.
BUt thats on trucks usualy and more is involved. BUt this kit requires no welding at all.

THe kit alone should run around $2000.
ANd DO NOT BUY a universal air ride kit that they say will work on anything. IT WONT.
THose kits are designed with trucks in mind and do not have the the proper struts you need for a J body.

GO with easystreet and easystreet alone.

Just the full kit... $350, no installation... maybe I should go back there and talk to them. They say they're an authorized WW dealer, and WW has them on their website too.



crap, i just noticed you ment for the air ride......... i should have specified the body kit

i feel stoopid



Re: airbags, hydraulics
Saturday, September 03, 2005 5:50 PM
OH!!!!!!!!

The fitment of WW products is great. Best Ive ever worked with.
What kit did they quote you $350? THe W-type lip kit? Because my front bumper alone cost $350

I have a full kit in my Garage. Just waiting for the car to get back to full running condition. It was the RKSport Prototype kit that they decided not to sell. 1 of a kind kit from them. Hope it isnt @!#$ once i put it on the car!

Does that kit use bags that slid on over your stock struts?
If not what sort of struts does it have?

It is sir struts from what I have been told. No bags at all. Been looking into the Air Ride Shop out in Arlington for Bags instead, since I heard they ride alot better. Not looking for a bouncy or a harsh ride. Just want a smooth decent ride for when i take the cavi out.
