Accord Air Ride...

Whats up fellas, I have some questions, i searched on here, but it doesn't seem like the accord key word gets you any hits. I know that accords have air runner as an option for air ride, but I have read some threads here of people doing custom set ups. This is for a 94-97 Accord. What struts/ bag set up would you guys recommend I look into? I m just looking at my options because the 2-3 all out accords I know have air runner and I d like to maybe try something different, other than that if I cant find nothing I will probably go air runner. I got the Air Ride Technologies kit and it doesn't go low AT ALL so i m returning it. The struts have a 4 inch play but they were designed to go 2 inches above stock and 2 inches below stock which is no where near as low as I d like to go.

I would prefer struts bags so help me out. I d like the set have like a 5 inch expandability (i.e. 1 inch above stock height and 4 inches below) Give me some suggestions, I look at universalair.com or whatever it is and didn't really find anything interesting and then there were a couple sites people posted in some forum that were all in japan, which i could barely find my way around them. Also any shops in california I could call about a custom set up would be nice too, they can probably answer all these questions for me.

AirRunner is the best by far ... but I think Easy Street is up there also. They have a strut with adjustable damp shocks. Heard allot of good things about them.

you can try easy street at airlift company... but i think with any kit you get, the lower folk has to be modified/trimmed. my friend that has a accord wagon has air runner, and fully aired out, the front only looked dropped. so he trimmed the top of the lower folk and now the front fenders sit right at the rim... maybe you should just keep your air ride kit and trim the lower folk.
heres before he trimmed

is it a new design? I have sort of heard their shocks were cheap and would tear easy. I gotta find out about this, cause I had/ still have an opportunity of getting sponsored by easy street, i just went with Air Ride Technologies because people said it quality is excellent.

jooky o something like that is his screename? hes one of them hawaiin dudes, see I know i d have to modify the front fork with air runner, but the problem with the air ride technologies kit was that all 4 corners sat about 2 inches ABOVE the rim, its not like air runner that the back tucks the rim, if it was i would have modified it, but its all 4 corners i d have to modify and thats pushing it, too much work and not enough safety i think.

I have a real nice cylinder set up for an accord, that I dont need. Parker cylinders, accumulators, brand new twin Viar 480c compressors (chrome), 8 electric valves, ect.... A real nice kit. Everything but switches and air line.

The cylinders are used. They were breifly on a 98-02 accord. It was SMACKED.
