    I wouldn't put hydraulics on a daily car unless you have free Chiro visits.
    That's actually a very common misconception. (If ) they are running accumulators ride is smoother than stock.

      yes and no.

      i'm familiar with hydro's as well but i still prefer bags for daily driving. the guys at bagyard all drive hydro cars (primarily built for hopping - different than daily driving, obviously) and they still say bags for daily. i think it's all personal pref.
      I used to be famous.

      somewhere between I want it and I got it.

          mason tech has been close to releasing their solution for years now, never gonna happen

          is your buddy, pat ? with the black a4 ?

            you should be able to use chapman bags for the rear as you can have them made with any mounting points you need. they arent too exspensive usually run around 400 for the set. As far as the fronts go I would just do bag overs as bagyards are about 4 times as much as a bag over setup. With the money you save you can have every other component you need to have air on your car. If you have any questions just hit me up

              Hydraulics for daily. I speak from personal preference. Three years strong with zero issues!

              No burning compressors, no rubbing issues, no hassles.

              There are many misconceptions out there. Try running them yourself before passing judgment.

                do hydraulic setups still use batteries?

                  They do, but if speed is not a concern of yours, running a single battery is a definite possibility. Many of the guys in Japan run on 12 volt setups.

                  I personally have 24 volts and it's plenty for me...

                  Here's a vid of a Japanese 300C on a 12 volt setup:

                    ^^Looks about as quick as my bag set-up. I'm running a single compressor and 3 gallon tank.

                    w.i.p. (work.in.progress)

                        thats no where near as bad as i thought it would be, the range of motion is seems to be more than a bag setup. How's the ride? stiff, soft?
