[mseayjr]

What are all the parts needed for an air suspension kit? Also what are air struts and what are their advantages over air bags, and Where can I find them at?

I just got a new air kit this weekend. I have the new Airlift Easy Street kit for the Eclipse. I got the first production kit made. Super easy install. Do not buy Air Cylinders for your car. They ride like crap compared to real struts.
You need:
Four Air Struts
Air tank
At least 1 compressor (you get what you pay for)
4-8 valves - depending on how many options you want. You need one for up and one for down. I have 8 so I can control each corner.
Switches
Guages are highly recommended
Air Line
Wire


I will post some pics of the car soon.
They also shot pictures of the install for Lowrider Euro magazine so you will see it in the mag in about 3-4 months.

Where did you get the kit from?

[galant2nr]

I got the Easy Street kit from Suspension Dimension in Southern California. Really good guys.

Do they have a site or do you know anyone else that sells them? How much do they cost?

[mseayjr]

What kind of galant do you have? Did ever thing match up well? Can you give us a number or website?

I'm assuming he has this kit. Click Here ('http://www.airliftcompany.com/easystreet/Eclipse.htm'). I am thinking about getting the same kit, but $2k is alot when you only get one tank. I would think it would be really slow moving. I'm also thinking about the Tein Basic Dampers.

my friend has a volvo wagon bagged all around well he did till it got totalled by a dodge ram but he got a new one which he will transfer the kit onto......but anyways back to the topic he was going to charge me 2G's to get the air strut kit installed but if we get enough people intrested in the air suspension we could get a GB going. Ill talk to him later and see what i can come up with. i know i wasnt getting my kit untill i got my 03 tax return but ill see if i can pull some strings with the fiance/wifey. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

My kit is the Easy Street Kit. The price looks steep but you get really good stuff. The struts are Tokico, with a bag instead of a spring. I get over 4" of ride height change. The front struts are also 5 point adjustable. The kit also comes with a really good compressor, not some cheap crap, and the tank is 5 gallons which is plenty big. I can raise and lower my car about 5 times before the compressor kicks on and it only takes about 2 mintues to fill the tank. And slow it isn't, in fact, I am lowering the air pressure switch because the front end actually jumps off the ground when I hit up the front.
This kit is specifically built for the Eclipse and Galant, not like the generic AIM stuff that may not fit correctly. Check out the [url='http://www.airliftcompany.com']www.airliftcompany.com (http://www.airliftcompany.com/easystreet/Eclipse.htm) website for a dealer in your area.

If I caN GET THE air struts from them, I cAN GET THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FOR LIKE $1500, WITH GETTING EVERYTHING ELSE FROM EBay. The exACT Same pARTS FROM THE Easy liftkit. sorry for the typeing messed up keyboARD.

after you install it let us know how it rides? i hear that air rides are rough like coilover.h

[galant2nr]

The suspension is installed and it rides great. Everything bolted straight into the factory locations. If it wasn't for the 19s I would say it rides like Stock.
The best part is, you can boost the air pressure up and make the thing really handle too!

[Dominicano]

that hot man, i would like to ride in your car to feel it. i might have to look into this in the future.

[ChromeGalant]

Do I hear a Group buy... let see how much cheaped we can get it..


Could we just get the 2000+ Eclipse front and rear air struts and then other tank, compressor??

Does any body listen-read. J/K https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif well i finally talked to my friend today turns out hes been carpooling so i thought he wasnt at work because i didnt see his ride but he said he will see how much he can get us the complete kit for our cars if we can get up to 10 members and if not how much for 5 members. he will tell me later today or tommorro if nothing comes up.

i also need a list/count of people who would be intrested in order to get a good rough estimate.
