Air Ride Technologies
Friday, August 12, 2005 8:23 AM
After a lot of searching, i decided to make a new post. I was wondering, does anyone actually have the air ride tech. bags or cylinders (if they make cylinders?). I've read a lot of "oh, they're expensive" and "easy street is kewl" but from what i've read it sounds like that's all guessing, and that nobody has actual experience with the ART stuff.

I'm used to my car riding like a truck, as i just took off my mantapart bilsteins (which broke in half by the way - pics to come). I'm wondering how air rides though. I've heard some people say it rides like a caddy, others say it sucks for a daily driven car. I'm not concerned with speed, i just want to be able to adjust ride high, without having to take my wheels off and get the damn spanner wrench out. I've decided the cavalier is never going to be an amazing handling car, so i might as well be able to slam it with the flip of a switch.

Basically i want to know if anyone has used air ride technology stuff, and in general, how do bags ride.

art is expensive but its a very good company. i myself have never delt w/ their products so i dont know much. i heard through people that they are very good. i think the reason people go w/ easystreet is because its cheaper and they offer quality parts. my bags ride smooth. on some roads yea it sucks like construction roads. other than that it rides great.

I've ridden in cars with both art and easystreet
I prefer the easystreet seem like a stronger design and seems like they ride smoother
I get %40 off art through school and i just ordered my easystreet fronts through jason at a+
shows which i prefer i paid $100 more

i have delt with art products for a while, and personally the easiest compressor system to use and install
yes the vavles are in teh block design, makes for a cleaner install if ya ask me, bullet proff products not once had a car come back to me with a problem with the art products
yes i agree very expensive, the ride to me is like being on lowering springs the adjustablity of the struts come in handy, overall great company
the noisy street struts so far all i have heard and read are the make allot of noise, great product but noisy as hell and they get lower then air ride stuff
personally i don`t need to make a car raise up and 3 whell and bounce off teh ground remember kidies it`s a car not a carnival ride


can i haz bondo

From what ive read in the truck world people love ART.

From my own experiance with Easystreet. I'll never use there stuff again. My struts blew so the ride went to crap. Noisy. And the bags have started coming apart. One popped already and another was about to so I removed it and went to Goldlines.


I am all that is man
