maybe you could but like I said I wouldnt need anything that good unlees I was going to us it for what was intended, which is cornering, right. So I would be wasting 1000 dollars on something i dont need. Which by the definitios earlier in this post, would be rice

yes and no, the original honda setup is how it is for a reason, because it offers performance, stability and comfort, air ride cannot do that and constantly altering the suspension geometry is not a good thing, and whomever said $1000 on something you dont need is rice is a moron, i would gladly drop 1g on a tein setup for my car (which i will be doing soon), rice is gawdy useless products placed on a car that does not facilitate the need for that product (like a FWD car w/ a wing)

I think you guys are getting off topic. This thread was created by me so i could get advice from people with airbags, or people who know enough about them to teach me something. Now we have people arguing about coilovers and why they are worth the money. I don't care about coilovers, if i did i would have named this thread "suspension" or "coilovers". If you want to be helpful tell me about what i want to know, don't go arguing about something else, its just stupid.

Oh yeah, and i think air ride can give you stability and comfort. Don't say it can't when its a proven fact and the slogan of most airbag companies that their products give a smooth ride.

d00d WTF man? we are both offering logical points of view for either side of the tracks, so how about reading and soaking in the knowledge rather then bitching about its not what you want

This is whatI said earlier. I would never use a 1000 dollar tien setup in the way that that setup was intended. i dont race my car on a strip, in autocross, WRC, anything like that. So it defeats the whole purpose of me having a setup like the tiens. See what im saying, its all in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah, hey civic-on-air, how Does your ride feel. Does it feel more luxury then it did before? Is it smoother? Those kind of things would be good to know. Also, how fast do your cylinders inflate?

pretty quick ... he can just hit the switch and the car raises right up ... almost as quick as hydros are on the low riders.

Yea the ride is smooth, alot smoother than stock even though it is at a lowered height. And my cylinders fill up hella fast, it wont matter how many compressors or how big of a tank you have. The cylinders fill up fast because i have 3/4 high pressure fast valves, which is what you will get if you get a air ride kit. The only thing thaving 2 compressors does is fills the tank 2 times faster than it would with one, and a bigger tank just means more air, so more front, back, and side to side fun hehe.
