Static drop or put on air
Getting a little bit of cash from a fender bender it I was in it was not my fault
Need to replace a front coil anyways Thinking 5-6" slams front and 7-8" slams rear( most travel I can get) Can get lower springs n shocks but for like 1-200 more I can do air.. then another 1-2 for shorter shocks Only want up down to front and back and 1 simple up n down on all.. Thinking even about hard lining it simple to under my seat 1 big valve for all and 2 smaller for front n back Thoughts? Brand of bags for front r back if I piece together a kit Small tank maybe 5 gals?? I have even seen a friend's in his 62 bug a simple tank with air chuck to fill.. Anyone know how many lbs the tank should hold And at 5gals how many times up n down could I get?? Links Pictures Brands Advice I love where the streets are ****! Think air would be Way better |

Re: Static drop or put on air
Stage it bud.
Drop spindles up front and bags with schraders for rear. Then start buying the rest

Re: Static drop or put on air
Im not 100% sure how you plan on doing the valves, but at the least, the front and back need to be on separate valves, it takes more pressure to lift the front. 4 way is better for body roll....

Re: Static drop or put on air
Like a 4 way block.. 1 for each wheel with 1 main one
Going to join the 2 front/2 rear valve handles together so I can up the 2 fronts at 1 time and the 2 rears at one time Then 1 main for all four up and down or maybe just down Found this on here Deciding on either manual valves from Delmo or just manual 3way gas valves |

Re: Static drop or put on air
That will work, but won't be super user friendly because you will have to have the dump and wheel valves open to lower it.

Re: Static drop or put on air
so im looking at slam specialties
will a bigger diameter bag work in the front as well as the back or should i use 2 different sizes? SS series 8" with 10" of travel back SS6 in the front.. also about the same travel both seam collapsed are about 3" should i use airlift? dominator? slam specialties? price is a Small factor but roads in new orleans are CRAP so i want the toughest least likely to fail |

Call Jason with AVSPRo
