I was debating about getting air ride, and was wondering like some pros and cons. What do you have to do to get it installed? I heard it eliminates your shocks, strutts and springs.. Also... will it effect handling in a good or bad way? Those are my main concerns as of now... Thanks in advance for help!!

Well, I went through all of those, but none said anything about getting rid of shocks, strutts, ect. Oh yeah, it might help if you knew, its going on an 89 sunbird LE. Thanks!!!

are you trying to get rid of them all together for the front and rear? yellow and esb did the rears with no struts but it was a complete custom setup.
All im wanting is just a basic, simple air ride setup, i was just asking if you were supposed to get rid of the shocks and strutts, because one of my friends told me the bags take the place of them...
"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"
depends. you can do anything you want really with bags. alot of truck do away with the struts and run straigh bags. for our cars they dont make a setup like that.
I believe you have to run struts up front in our cars. Check out the airlift easystreet kit to get an idea. On my 69' 1/2 ton checy pick-up that im baggin, im just replacing the coil springs with bags.
Do those kits look good on that link? Im hoping theyll be ok, as i can get the kit cheap with sponsorship.... So basically, i would lose the spring, but keep the shocks and strutts? I just want to take out what is required to be taken out....
"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"
those kits will not work. its not as simple as removing the spring and replacing it with a bag. those are just bags to make a custom setup
Your going to need ^^^those^^^ for the front. Its a strut bag and can be found at Suicidedoors.com. Any of your sponsor's kits should work as long as you get the strut bags for the front and shocks for the rear. You do have to remove your springs and struts and no you cannot but a regular bag on a strut, it wont work. There isn't a hole in the bag for the strut to go through. Your also going to need brackets welded on in the rear to mount the bags.
how much did you pay for this sponsorship?
I didnt pay anything for sponsorship. I have a car club that I now am up to 9 sponsors for the whole club. So if I bought this air ride kit, it would work? There are some shops in town that could put it on, as i am lost on how to put it on... but would using a kit like this effect handling? handling is a big issue, really the only reason im wanting air ride is the adjustability of it, as im going to have a body kit... protect it a little...
"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"
the link you post will not work, period. you need a strut bag combo bottom line. unless you feel like paying a ridicious amount of money for a shop to custom fab something for a car nearly 20 years old. get a strut bag made for your car and bolt it in. handling is ok but not as good as coilovers
Alright... does anyone know where to get that assembly?? It is an 89 sunbird LE, i can provide any more information needed.... Thanks...

thats an easystreet setup. i doubt they make anything like that for your car. try suicidedoors.com

This is going to sound harsh, but I find it hard to believe you went through all the links when the one to V6Z24 has a link to a company that sells a kit for your car.

I went through the ones, i might have overlooked that one. But i sent an email to the guy that runs the place i was looking at them before, and he said he could get me the strutts, so i think ill get them off of him, as they will be ALOT cheaper.. would i have to have the same for the back only shocks, or could i just use bags there??? Thanks again.
"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"
judging from the looks of things, you can use bags (based on current spring position)
Alright, so i can use bags in back, air strutts in front, and ill still have shocks in back, no regular strutts in front, and no springs, right?? Thanks.
"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"
right
Alright, will the air strutts just bolt right up?? I know the bags will need some modification to get on, but i wasent sure about the strutts, thanks.
"Hondas are like tampons, every pussy has one!!!"
Alright, i know the sunbird would be alot different than that cavi, but is it hard to get the bags on like that??? Also, would the strutts bolt right up? Is there anyway i could get something that would just bolt up for the backs as well? Thanks again!!!!
