hey here is a pic of the new air suspension set up i installed, http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?fg=FFFFFF&bg=FF6600&migration=1&image=http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/704000-704999/704624_25_full.jpg acutally not but i am ordering the kit and should produce similar results, just messing around with photoshop and came up with that :clap: i likey.....

Becareful with Chassis Tech products. They tend not to last as long as you want. I bought a compressor and some airbags for my truck and the bags were cheap and also the compressor kept on overheating.

how does the chassis tech system compare to the easystreet and airlift?

Please for the safety and well being of youf XB stay away from Chassis Tech, it will break. Go with either the easystreet or FBI mini set up. Both are really good and will last longer then Chassis Tech

stay away from cylinders

get bags/air struts

:gun: this kit down, i knew something was up when i asked for an awsome price, and he was like 800 shiped, then was like its not a new kit been out on the market for a while and stuff, but im looking for a really good price, but sorry chassis tech u gots ta go....... lol so which kit is better now, i saw boxillas box on the fbi kit i assume, and i heard the front struts on the easystreet stick when dumped........let me know i am looking into a kit soon, also will i loose handling and stuff, cuz i have holdlines and i like them, but want to dump it at times, i know it could be ____ty, but if you do it right it is better than springs i hear.........let me know though, thanks for the warning on chassis tech stuff.

Saw the Easy Street Cavalier last year at a show, and a buddy of mine is sponsored by them... they are AWESOME. extremly high quality parts and the guys from the company I talked to last year were great to deal with.

Was fun watching them lay frame a cavalier.

Boxzilla's box is an all around FBI kit...

Ive done about 3 weeks or more of research on the fbi vs. all other kits, and hands down, price to worth ratio.

I have also seen 8 or more kits up close, and after seeing the install on boxzillas box, omg. i'd get that any day.

my advice? call 1-877-324-6464 for Fender Bender International, and ask for Phil; the resident expert on xB air.

to each their own I personally like the easy street kit better but just do the research and either choice you make will be a good one as both kits that are out there are good ones.

but sorry chassis tech u gots ta go....... :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

the easystreet kit was originally having problems with the struts sticking, but that has been fixed

I suggest going with FBI mini . great service , great product , great price,
And you dont have to cut your top bracket where your rear spring is! once you cut it your stuck with bags :lalala: plus with FBI you can install it all under the car so those of you with custom speaker boxes in the rear as my self this is the kit for you!

Give the guys a call @ 1-877-FBI-MINI
everyone I have spoke with knows there stuff :bow:

the fbi kit is good but the double convoluted has too much lift for me , and fbi runs easystreet front setup , it is interesting to me that team pneaumatik is just re selling the easy street i wonder what they have changed / havent changed. the fbi switchbox and air management is better than easy street . Oh one last thing only a small piece of the rear spring mount needs to be cut and can be reused for stock spring use.

Another thing i've noticed is that when dealing with vendors in this line of parts... you gotta ask A LOT of questions up front, and ask that they provide things in writing before you give them your money. My friend bought some parts from a big name air vendor and they ended up just having stuff drop shipped to him from the manufacturers... but the best part is those manufacturers had never made anything for his car even though they said they did, and to make a long story short.... it was NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

lift is a good thing when you need it. its all about how low you can go :rofl:
as for team pneaumatik i spoke to them and gauge (project fusion) special deal.
and both told me they where using the same items but team was higher priced then the special. and your correct that FBI has the best air mangement and the best sytem . I have looked for many months and have talked to alot of people
and FBI got my business and friendship!

Which kit is it on the FBI site that you guys are using on your Xb's? I'm really considering bagging mine. I know on trucks you can use lowering springs with the bags can you do that on the Xb's also? Thanks in advance.

most people run the basic air management with the easystreet fronts and fbi rear.

Thanks for the quick reply. So could I add this on top of say the tein lowering springs or do you use just the kit? I had both on my Chevy but these are a little different.

you would do away with your springs.

Okay thanks I actually have a stock Xb right now just don't want to waste money on springs if I can't use them.

What is that white stuff in those yards? It was 73 degrees here in ALabama today...love the car...

the easystreet kit was originally having problems with the struts sticking, but that has been fixed can i ask what was the problem, were the bags wrong or suttin, or do you justh ave to cut more metal now.........are any of these kits fairly simple to install?

I suggest going with FBI mini . great service , great product , great price,
And you dont have to cut your top bracket where your rear spring is! once you cut it your stuck with bags :lalala: :

This is untrue. The FBI kit is the EASYSTREET KIT with different air management... There is cutting of the perch and there are 12 holes that have to be drilled in the rear of the car to mount the bags.

oic, do you have any price info on this kits, and which is the better kit, would the fbi be better if the managment is swaped, and the perch? is that up front? or what

I just spoke with Phil from FBI and he told me that everything is bolt on, you don't have to cut a thing. Although you do have to drill a few holes but not 12 of them. Where did you get this information? Do you know first hand?

sorry bro your wrong :silly:

Our rear kit uses a ContiTech double convoluted 2400# airbag mounted on custom perches that DO NOT require cutting the spring mount off your frame rail! You will need to drill 4 holes per side to mount the upper perch, but your stock spring can be reinstalled within an hour if you needed to. I know the pictures aren't the best, but here's the bag and brackets:

There is enough lift in the front to ALMOST put the front valance on the ground- yeah, it's not necessary, but it looks really cool! And if you don't want to lift it that much, you don't have to!

-Phil

People need to know what they are talking about before they speak.
Assuption is the mother of all f______!
I can attest to Phil and the FBI kit.As I was one of the first with his kit.If not the 1st.
I love the kit and have been really happy with it as well as Phil's knowledge and expert advice.
The only thing I have an issue about,is that its to damn fast!How many people with bags have you heard complain about it being to fast?I didnt want speed.Only adjustable suspension.
I have since slowed it down.Thats the thing with air,you have a lot of different approaches and adjustability to tune the kit to your liking.
When you want to know something about a company's kit,ask someone who has experience with the kit.I do all of my own work.The kit and cups that FBI uses are quality stuff.As he said,you can go back to stock in a matter if minutes on the rear.
I have been really satisfied on my stuff from FBI.

what did u have to do to the front, i noticed u said u can convert the rear back to stock but not the front, thats cool with me though iwouldnt mess with that..... but what did u do, and did you have rubbing issues, i have 18 by 7.5" rims with 215/35 tires, they are slim, i think would work, but did u have to rol lthe fender s or suttin like that..............ooo and how much did u score the fbi kit for......at the moment im leaning to that.................what is wrong with a fast kit, except if its too fast, the bags rip off the mounts, my buddy has a balck s10 nitrogen filled bags went to lift up on the highway ripped off his right rear bag and drown 15 miles with no suspesnion on that side........lol sucked but im sure it isnt that fast.................. :clap: hearing good things aobut that kit though

in order to put the front back stock you just mount your strut back on .
