I need to go LOWER!!

Anyone have any ideas. I've got the air strut kit from air lift company and slammed the tires not even tucking inside the fenders. My coilovers were almost this low. I need a way to get lower without cutting up the car... HELP

Only way is to get new bags. Most of these air ride companies cant slam at all. Most fronts can only go like 2". The rear usually isnt a problem though.
I've heard of some companies making shorter air ride kits for our cars but i forgot who it was.

I was thinking of welding some brackets for the rear and putting just bags. Blackbullet said his was really bouncy, but I've got a friend with an s10 with nothing but bags (his shock mounts broke so he took them off) and it doesn't ride that bad but it's probably different for a truck. One other guy on here (*****) talked about cutting his shock or something I never could figure out what he ment he did. http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...light=air+ride
Anyone have ideas for brackets?

actually i think thats what hack shack did... they took out the strut and just replaced it with a straight bag setup. You have to weld a bottom bracket for that reason.
but yeah either way most kits shouldnt have any problems dumping the rear, it usually just the front

would this work? if I take a square tube and weld a plate to the tube then a bolt to the plate for the bag to screw on to. Then cut a hole out for the bolt on the lower part of the bracket where the shock mount would have gone. Would I need a bushing or would any of that even work. I've never seen what the brackets look like for our cars for bags like that

LOL wtf.. talk about random...
try www.adventon.com they used to have them pretty cheap. not sure if they still are since they changed owners...

as for the bags, honestly i dont know. it looks like you know more about how to make it than I do. I think hack shacks kit only requires you to weld 1 bottom bracket. maybe you can PM hshadow. I know he was trying to sell his. if you dont buy maybe he can snap a couple pictures for you.
