Well, I got 'em!

Post by damronjr »

Yep, $500 is gone and a set of air bags with everything I need (hopefully ) to hook them up is in there! 2 tanks, 2 compressors, and 4 bag struts! Switch box (sucks, need to find another one), guages, all that! Now I just have to find someone to install them. Hopefully I can find a place that can do it pretty cheap. That's what I'm actually on the computer for, just got side-tracked! I'll post pics in a little bit! Oh yeah, and guess what that means! There s probably going to be some stuff up for sale here shortly!

Well, as promised, here's the pics of the kit right now. Haven't had a chance to organize things and clean it up yet.I think it fits in great w/ my other misc mods I haven't done yet!

Ok somebody clue me in here.What is it exactly that you are installing? I must have missed it or something. I'm looking at the pics and trying to figure out what they are!

Basically, air shocks, so you can lower or raise your car at the push of a button.

Ohh ok... kinda like hydraulics?That'll be real tight! Is this going to be the first Vibe with this installed? I don't recall anyone else having this.I'm going to have to check it out one day since we work at the same base! That is, if Jason doesn't mind!

I don't mind at all, I just hope it doesn't turn into another one of my shelfed mods waiting to be installed!

There is one other vibe that has bags on it, but I don't know who the guy is. Here is a link for the car.http://www.easystreetair.com/i...D=301

Well, I started organizing and semi-installing my kit! Andre (dreday55?) said he could probably help me with the install, but to help the process along I have deicded to start getting things where they need to go so all we will have to do is run some hoses and hook up the struts since it will be a while before he will be available anyways. Here's the pics of the progress thus-far!This'll show you where the kit came from!Tanks in place(not bolted down yet).Rear strut assemblies and hosery.Another of the tanks and other electrical and hoses.Last but not least, the guages!

If it weren't for that minitruck get-togather I went to a few weeks ago I would not be happy with you (removed) ...One of those things where first impressions are no where near true. I actually think air-bags are pretty cool now since I actually hung out with the owners and got ot know their culture so I'm excited to see how your Vibe will look!You should make a small vid of the car dropping down and use it as your avatar.
