Default Air Ride Systems

I want to put some air cylinders on my '99 Accord and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a brand or where to by? Any technical suggestions would be a big help. Lastly does anyone know if these suspensions cyclinders have a minimum working temp? I live in South Dakota and the weather can dip below -40F with wind chill.

Thanx,
Bob

To be honest I am not sure what part(s) of the original suspension they replace as I am just learning myself.

sup, i will answer your questions. an air cylinder replaces your springs and shocks, most are bolt on kits which bolt stright up to your struts. runnin cylinders your need a air tank, compressor and if you want your car to go FBSS(front back side side) your need valves. also gauges and switch box.

i have a full air cylinder kit in my 92 civic, im runnin the cylinders of two 3gallon tanks, a 380c compressor and 8 1/2 valves and 1/2 lines. it is very fast and cost me $3,000 but i live in New Zealand so would be alot cheaper for you.

they look pretty sick on accords if you have the right wheel, tire, kit setup. good luck on that project, post pics when your done.
