Hey, guys i just installed my new set of airbag suspension on my 2003 civic ! Pretty sick , bought the full kit for 2500$ but damn it was worth it for the price , got all the stuff needed to get it running , got little problems first , but they helped me till the end so i can get it fully functional . I can go reallyyy low and can go pretty high by i simple click of a button. Wanted to know to , any of you guys have a kit installed on his civic because i would like to see that other people did that to.
I got the same kit as you. I bought it 3.5 years ago and put it in my closet. It's still in my closet.
How many litres is your tank and what's the power on your compressor? Did you upgrade your alternator/battery?

Ya about the tank i have a 3gallon tank with a DC5000 compressor that takes about 1.20min to fill up 0 to 125psi . I got the valve kit that can go up to 300psi and no the alternator is the same but i changed the battery for a bigger one. Soon i will get a kill switch that will go on on 130psi to 180psi so i can go up faster. Any more question ? Don't hesitate

Ya I'm pretty sure I got the same tank and compressor as you. It's pretty weak ass but won't overload the stock electrical I don't think so it's a good match. How did you hook up your switches? Just momentary switches for each corner? I'm trying to write a software application to hook it up to some sort of progressive logic controller on my car computer to control everything on screen. Just no time to do anything for myself right now.

Ya I can help you with that, the setup is not hard. I'm actually dumping my 700 right now, I got the newer 705TSV LED model. If you're in the USA try mp3car.com and if you're in Canada I might be able to sell you mine precut for the dash.
So what are you doing for switches?

i wasent being mean or anything but when somebody come to tell you it looks like a ****ing bucket imo you would react the same thing, i saw somebody with the same ride as you with suspension and it looked not bad so ya that it
Nice job. Glad to see more and more people are in to the realy low body draging look. I have the 2nd 7th gen in the states that had air ride put on it. Had it done a year before airride tech started on a kit for them.
Here are some of my pics from my myspace page. what you think?
Im running 10 switches, 200psi, 2 3gal tanks, and 2 viair 380c compressors http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=1271143
And just a few awards. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=1271170

Thanks! Sounds like you got alot of work ahead of you. Sweet ride when you finished. The only things done to tuck them was roll the fenders. They have been on it for about 2 years now.

It's going to be a few weeks before I get a new panel for my 705TSV and then I got to decide if I want to keep my 700TSV or not, I'll let you know.
And I doubt I'll be installing the air ride anytime soon, this is my daily driver and I don't have a switch box for it yet. And switches are like $5 each, plus I don't know how well the oiler will still work or if I have all the little plastic fittings for it. Got to take everything out of the box and see if I'm missing anything and if it all works.

i thought about air ride for a while, but with a little tweeking i am lower than the pictures shown with my coilovers. i ride dumpt daily and it is a decent ride. i guess you can say i have the caveman stance. good job on the air ride guys. im doing one on a buddy's jetta.

Air ride is done for 2 reasons:
1. The stance
2. The ride
You're missing number 2.
