I'm currrently running an Easystreet air bag set up on my box, but i recently popped a rear bag and am now really concerned about the integrity of this kit for my daily driver. So i'm thinking about getting rid of the kit in favor of some coilovers.....however...I wanna be able to go down at least 3.5 inches all around and i need to have confidence in it for long road trips to different car shows. I've done quite a bit of searching and have narrowed it down to either the HKS hipermax C-Compact set up or the Cusco set up. Here's where i need some help. I need to know a good place to purchase either set, and i know there are boxes with both of these on so can i see some pics? and your reactions, like ride quality, handling increases, and so on like that. Thanks in advance

 

well...

You can do it with coil overs, but you will need to do some modifying to them...

You are limited to how low the springs that are included with the coil overs can go, BUT, you can purchase longer / shorter springs with different spring rates for the coil overs...

TEIN, HKS, & TANABE offer various spring rates and lenths for all of their coil over set ups...

Example if you were to go with TEIN Super Street w/ Pillow Ball Mounts...

These come with springs that let you adjust height from:

FR: -1.1" ~ -2.5"
RR: -1.1" ~ -2.1"

If you were to change the springs you can get an additinoal 1.5" out of them no problem... And you can even get a softer spring rate if you want a softer ride...

If you get them with the Pillow Ball mounts you can use the EDFC (electronic Damping Force controller... This looks good at car shows, and allows you to adjust when you want a sportier stiff ride to a softer smooth ride on the fly!

Here is a link to the TEIN Replacement springs that are avaialble... if you are lost and dont know which ones you will need I can help you...

how long did you have the easystreet rear bags on before they popped?

 

what made it pop? daily driving ? rubbing ? puncture? hmm. the cusco vacanza's go 3.9 drop in front and 3.3 or 3.6 in the rear , so that'd be the easy choice , no need in sourcing out different springs

 

I have HKS Hipermax

Great ride... But if you want to be the Slamma Jamma... its no bueno.

All the way down I tuck just a little of a 215-35-18. an of course all the way down
rides like ___. Oh yeah and the adjustable struts are kind of a pain.

It rides good when its adjusted up a bit.
One last suggestion. Get that _____ aligned after. Mine had 1.32 degreees of Negative Toe. Tires were like this. -----> \ /

eeek..
Prolly gonna bag it.

 

I would stay with the bags....just with different company like airrunner.....u get what u pay for is what i say.....hit up autofashionusa.com if u are interested in that...
