As far as the air cylinders, I have never personally had experience with them. Depending on the application, people us cylinders. Most struts, etc. But I've heard of loss of ride quality and having to rebuild every so often. (Just what I've heard)

To get a fast lift and dropping set-up, your going to have to deal with high pressures so higher qaulity parts will pay in the long run. dean www.speedworldny.com

Status: offline 		I havent had any major problems with AIM. Ive heard other people say that as well, but weve done alot of business with them and they go out of the way to help me, so Ive been happy. I have accounts with EAI, Air Ride technologies, and am working on a few other companies as well. Who else should I get in touch with as far as kits go DONJUAN. thanks dean
