Default 90 Integra air ride

Can't seem to find any kits specificly for integra's for a reasonable price..

So what about doing half and half?

You think this would be a good setup? Never ventured into air ride before

Erm... how do I put this gently?
You're going to be looking at a fair bit of custom fabrication, from mounting the compressor and accumulator tanks, to running wiring and air lines.

Air suspensions are particularly sensitive to hose lengths and valving, so for a stable ride, you're going to want to plumb each air-strut (or bag) separately.

I've taken a rather casual glance at the basics of air suspension systems just for my own education... so I'd strongly recommend doing a fair bit of library research into all the mechanical aspects before committing any funds to the process.

If all you're looking for is a reasonably compliant ride that's a bit lower than stock, a set of Koni Yellow dampers and Tein S-Tech springs would be a much simpler solution.

BTW, what year is your Integra?

1990 integra

Im not really looking to get a GREAT handling ride. Im just wanting to be able to lower my car, put a body kit on, and still get in my driveway and garage.

I know i'l have to mount it all and hook it all up, im just worried about the cylinders bolting up properly.

Im not completly sure if im gonna go with air ride, but it would be nice..

Ya im thinking about saying screw it

$1000 is alot to put into suspension, when the engine has 200k and could blow at any time..

I think imma save my money, and just get an aftermarket suspension, then put the money into the engine in hte future

with 200k... i would suggest saying "fuck it" to that engine and either planning on a swap or something similar to that (depending on how dedicated you are to this car.)

i would suggest just taking the time to build up the suspension on this car... and when the motor takes a shit on you... clean it off and rebuild and/or swap

love and kisses
