View Full Version : This is a nice air bag drop Munch 01-09-2005, 03:55 PM SWEET 8) http://www.excentrixauto.com/images/products/infinite%20innovations%20scion%20down.bmp J_A_Trevino 01-09-2005, 04:04 PM yes it is.... scion_tC 01-09-2005, 04:30 PM man, I feel sorry for the bottom of that car. where I live I couldn't do that to my tC if my life depended on it. bBism 01-09-2005, 04:53 PM Thats the EAI Kit on the box i think silkywilson 01-09-2005, 04:57 PM that loos hot I want some Bags now...lol :lol: hotbox05 01-09-2005, 08:54 PM thats as low as air lift. what sucks is that it utilizes air cylinders. they provide a horrible ride LilBlkBox 01-10-2005, 06:44 AM Air cylinders or Cans dont ride good if you arent running accumlators. That stance with bags looks good, but I would rather just have a static drop if I cant lay out with bags. I have had a bagged truck before and I personally dont think its worth it on a daily driven vehicle because of the maintenance involved. Fujiz_xb 01-10-2005, 04:21 PM looks sweeet EVILDAVE 01-10-2005, 05:27 PM Looks photoshoped! peterbilt 01-10-2005, 06:02 PM Looks photoshoped! ... or a jadatoy. either way - it's sick. i love the look. scion1616 01-10-2005, 06:21 PM no it is not photo shop. i just ordered the kit three days ago. and as far as cylinders riding bad that is only true on the rear because of the weight. by the way i have a set of tein ss coilovers for sale. they are only three months old. asking 850.00 if interested call 251-391-0347. Munch 01-10-2005, 10:12 PM Looks photoshoped! ... or a jadatoy. either way - it's sick. i love the look. Nope it's real 8) k4kas 01-20-2005, 02:54 AM Yea its real. Im not sure if that kit uses cylinders or bag struts.I think if you buy the kit it uses cylinders.But they do have a spring replacement for McPherson style struts. Cylinders ride like poop no matter what.I have never ridden in a vehicle with cylinders that I liked the ride.Plus you dont get as much travel with most cylinders. The rear could go lower if he only knew what was limiting him. Still has a nice stance though. kidkamel 01-20-2005, 09:38 AM Me personally I would go with the kit that http://www.teampneumatik.com has built. His setup looks sick!

Im running the Easystreet kit. The rear ends rides wonderfully. Im still messing with the front end to dial it in. The front has 9 way adjustability on it.

BrianxB 01-22-2005, 11:49 PM my car sits way lower than that in the rear and just as low if not lower in the front. Im running the Easystreet kit. The rear ends rides wonderfully. Im still messing with the front end to dial it in. The front has 9 way adjustability on it. How much did you pay for the complete kit. Also where is you tank mounted? I got the kit through the group buy section on this site. it was 1500 for everything. I also bought a switch box and a water seperator because the switches that come with it are a joke there is no water seperator included which is MANDATORY. Not running a water seperator is asking for problems unless you live in the desert or something. The switchbox was another 30 and the water trap was 30. I spent probably another 100 bucks on top of that for more airline, various wiring pieces, bolts, fittings for the water trap and plugs for the dump valves that I drilled small holes in to slow the system down when lowering the car. I didnt like it dropping really fast. I mounted my 5 gallon air tank vertically in the trunk on the passengers side on some L brackets that I made from angle iron and welded together. Basically I took out the right side of the trunk and made a false floor from MDF to mount everything on. The spare still fits in the car fine. The top of the tank is about as high as the rear seat. It looks like my car is going scuba diving when you pop the trunk open. I also mounted the compressor inside because I didnt want it exposed to the elements. When I buy another compressor I will most likely fabricate an aluminium box to mount them in underneath the car and remote mount the intake filters for them inside the car to keep them from sucking up dirt/water/ etc. I would go take some pictures but its dark outside, my carmera sucks and we just got over a foot of snow. This morning when I woke up my compressor wouldnt start because the pressure switch on the tank was frozen. had to warm the car up for 15 minutes until I had air. :( LilBlkBox 01-23-2005, 03:42 AM looks good man. A water trap is definatly a MUST. You also need to have a drain cock on the tank to to keep water out of it. Water freezes and makes you really mad in the winter time. Compressors can take the elements just fine as long as you run the remote inlet. Careful building a box for it. Make sure you have plenty ventilation so it doesnt get too hot and burn up. Looks good though. I wish I had a spare xB to bag because bags on a daily driver become hell. I could only take about a year and a half of it. BrianxB 01-23-2005, 03:48 PM looks good man.

I do have a drain cock in the bottom of the tank. Easystreets air management kit comes with everything you need minus a water trap and a nice switchbox but as I said those things are cheap. Why do you say they become hell everyday? I havent had any problems with the rear at all. The front strut locked up on me the first day I put them on but that was the strut being defective, not the bag. The seals on the strut were leaking.... scion1616 01-23-2005, 04:03 PM where are some pics BrianxB 01-23-2005, 04:13 PM of my car? I havent taken any. Im under a foot of snow right now and my setup isnt completely finished. Its in and working but I need to clean up some of the way the wiring is. BoomBox757 01-23-2005, 04:19 PM the easystreet kit is way better scion1616 01-23-2005, 04:22 PM no way. all the eai stuff i have recieved is high quality. BoomBox757 01-23-2005, 04:25 PM Yea but air struts compared to air cylinders, no competition scion1616 01-23-2005, 04:27 PM air cylinders to struts= more drop :rofl: scion1616 01-23-2005, 04:30 PM also didnt like the sleeve bags on the easy street kit. they dont hold near the pressure of bags and cylinders BrianxB 01-23-2005, 04:33 PM air cylinders to struts= more drop :rofl: Here is why your arguement is moot. 1- the easystreet kit drops the front end down to where the front sway makes contact with the unibody. It will not go any lower unless you remove the sway or notch your unibody for clearance. Does the EAI kit do that? If so, theyre both even. 2- Im unsure as to how the rear air cylinders mount for the EAI kit but if they replace where the coilspring is in the rear then you are limited to 2 things. One is how low your "spring" will compress, in this case Will and I airbags will compress way lower than any air cylinder. The other is how low your rear strut is. Im using the TRD struts in the rear with modified bumpstops. Im only limited by how low my strut can be compressed. If I want to I can remove the bumpstop entirely to lay the rear bumper within 3/4" of the ground. Show me that with the EAI kit. Airbags in the rear ride LIGHTYEARS better than the cylinders do, even with accumulators. BrianxB 01-23-2005, 04:34 PM also didnt like the sleeve bags on the easy street kit. they dont hold near the pressure of bags and cylinders The front bags hold up to 150PSI, the rear bags hold 175psi.... anything over a certain point of pressure and the car rides rough anyways so whats your point? scion1616 01-23-2005, 04:40 PM dont talk about a kit you know nothing about. i f you knew so much then you would know that there was bags in the rear and not cylinder or sleeves which suck by the way. BoomBox757 01-23-2005, 04:56 PM hes right about everything else, cylinders suck, face it that you don't know what you are talking about scion1616 01-23-2005, 05:05 PM this is a waist of time. buy whatever you want dumbass. i bought eai and love it. BrianxB 01-24-2005, 03:38 PM dont talk about a kit you know nothing about. i f you knew so much then you would know that there was bags in the rear and not cylinder or sleeves which suck by the way. I said I didnt know what EAI used in the rear. You want a nurse to examine your rear end because you seem pretty butthurt at this point. Will knows that I know what Im talking about because I installed my own setup, did you do yours??? or did you hand the keys and the checkbook over to someone else? You keep saying that Easystreets sleeve over strut setup sucks, your first reasoning behind it was "They dont hold enough pressure". I stated what they are rated for and then you come back with " Whaaaaa! They just suck ok?!" Thanks for the laughs. :loser: :rofl: clear_bra_guy 01-25-2005, 04:51 AM can it go this low? http://www.hunterdixxin.com/HUNTER_FLYER_files/front_end.jpg Besk_one 01-25-2005, 05:24 AM nice, but still not as low as the OG eric m. his was the lowest xB i've ever seen and probably will ever see, he did soooo much custom fabrication to get his car on the ground... too bad he sold off his setup, it was too cool in person aireck 01-25-2005, 06:16 AM pics^??? hotbox05 01-25-2005, 08:26 AM any ride can look low with wrong size wheels and a lower front lip , (not saying that scionbaby's ride isnt low , i'll give it one thing , massive lift!!!) just stating clear_bra_guy 01-26-2005, 04:17 AM any ride can look low with wrong size wheels and a lower front lip , (not saying that scionbaby's ride isnt low , i'll give it one thing , massive lift!!!) just stating I confused wrong sized wheels. . . and every custom xb has aftermarket ground effects. air is air. the "look"we have is bB first and low second. BrianxB 01-26-2005, 11:46 PM can it go this low? http://www.hunterdixxin.com/HUNTER_FLYER_files/front_end.jpg Remove your front lip and put back the stock one and yes my car will go that low. You guys kept the front sway right? nice, but still not as low as the OG eric m. his was the lowest xB i've ever seen and probably will ever see, he did soooo much custom fabrication to get his car on the ground... Eric M ran the front sway bar, his car didnt go any lower than the kits that are on the market now, unless he cut a hole in his unibody to allow the sway to go lower but the pictures Ive seen of his car didnt show that. It did show where his front sway had the paint rubbed off from resting on the unibody. His rear end is a little different but at the same time, he still ran the rear shock which limits him to how much he cut the bumpstops. I cut an inch and half out of mine which is what easystreet reccomends. I dont know what he cut out of his, if any at all. You are limited to how low your xB can go by 2 things the front swaybar coming into contact with the unibody in the front the bumpstops in the rear shocks. IMO a white xB looks the best on air. When I saw his car I knew that I wanted to do that to my white box. bulldog2g 01-28-2005, 04:30 PM LOVIN' that look. Considered that myself, but want to keep this thing simple. hotbox05 01-28-2005, 11:57 PM any ride can look low with wrong size wheels and a lower front lip , (not saying that scionbaby's ride isnt low , i'll give it one thing , massive lift!!!) just stating I confused wrong sized wheels. . . and every custom xb has aftermarket ground effects. air is air. the "look"we have is bB first and low second. the wheels look to be of the wrong diameter , they look way shorter than stock size. that and the front lip hangs lower than the stock lip. i'm not hating on the car I like it , i'm just saying the different sized wheels/tires and the lower than stock front lip make it look lower , it is very low , but those things just make it look lower , the airbag drop should be the same unless they removed the front sway bar , which i hope they didnt. clear_bra_guy 02-01-2005, 03:36 AM the wheels are: 15x8 in front with a -25 offset the rears are15x8.5 with a -32 offset stock size is 15" the sway bar is intact the stock front spoiler is gone for ever hotbox05 02-01-2005, 04:50 AM what sized tires? RFX 02-01-2005, 01:46 PM What kind of wheels are those??? hotbox05 02-01-2005, 11:24 PM work equip , i believe clear_bra_guy 02-02-2005, 01:53 AM the wheels are work equipt. the tires are 195x50x15 enough with the anal probe all ready. heres another "in the weeds picture" yea I know if i mowed the lawn it would not look as low :rofl: http://www.hunterdixxin.com/HUNTER_FLYER_files/in_the_weeds.jpg Lonely_Raven 02-02-2005, 07:04 PM What rims are those on this box? http://www.excentrixauto.com/images/products/infinite%20innovations%20scion%20down.bmp BrianxB 02-02-2005, 09:05 PM What rims are those on this box? http://www.excentrixauto.com/images/products/infinite%20innovations%20scion%20down.bmp Konig Next's. eddie66_1 02-02-2005, 09:16 PM The wheels are ugly :no: , but everything else is tight! :clap: tmex05 02-05-2005, 07:31 AM nice |
