I would love to help answer any questions you might have. The more I can show people the light, the bigger my smile gets

if i new a little more about hydro's i would do it in heartbeat. bags are nice dont get me wrong and thats prolly the route i will end up going, but hydro's are true baller for sure way more travel then bags and everthing ive ever heard about ride and comfort is better

after looking into air a little bit, i think its a potential option. However, when low/slammed, whats the car like when driving?
I currently drive a Ford Focus (MK1) and ive seen a picture of the rear 'easystreet' air setup, when the car is at a low stance (not sure how low by the picture)-(i will be running pretty much slammed as a daily, remember that i only want to lift the car to get up my drive and over speed bumps) the bag seems to be 'creasing', surely the ride will just be bouncy or non existent to an extent?

heres a picture:



One thing i particularly need to clear up is - when you are at your lowest point, are the bags fully deflated? Or do they retain a certain bar/psi?
If so, is it a case of just changing the length of the system so you can run a higher psi when 'low'

edit: another picture but from a different setup:

The lines ARE NOT connected yet in that picture so the bag is fully deflated, would it be the same once the lines+tank are connected and working? Or would it just not go as low?

From what ive found, easystreet are the only company that give you a new lowering arm designed with for air bag setup:

Sounds legit

haha it is.

[OCKlasse]

Yup.
coils. 4.5ton up front and 2.5tons in the rear.Front and rear coils are cut in half. I'm not laying out in the rear due to my cylinders hitting my parcel tray. so im making a custom cover for the rear and letting them come into the cab. This way i get all the lift of the tall cyls but lay out,

Sounds legit

You're running a BMH three pump setup right? On coils or accumulators?

Werd Ya, hopefully we get some demand stirred up in the 'dro market and get things rolling on that front! Aaron and the rest of the Hydroholic crew have some cool things in the works! Whether Air or Juice, all it takes is the time, knowledge, and properly setup system to get the most out of your suspension.

Amen, brotha!

And Ben, we do need to catch up!

PM me, I have some neat stuff to show you
