nice indeed... good job. Should had put the compressors on the outside though, less noisy. Or, put a 12v one pump four dump hydraulic setup, you could had made them straight coilover hydraulics with reverse flow cylinders, not cutting, no nothing bro. Accumulators give it that really smooth ride too.

there was no room outside, and another option was to put it in the spare compartment, but I want to keep my spare. The ride is smooth and i don't know too much about hdyraulics

Yes, khanhdom's Fit has been extensively modified with cosmetic parts; but that doesn't make the car a full blown ricer. It is no where near being rice. If you haven't bothered on noticing those pictures that you've previously posted of his Taffea White with the body kit were during a test fit and more recent images were added with the kit painted and properly fitted. Something that which a "ricer" would never do.

I find it amazing how narrow minded dumbasses like yourself will shout rice as soon as you see an import with any form of exhaust, but salute any domestic running crappy duals shooting out of the rear. People like you need to open your bloody eyes, take in the fact that owners build the car to their specific tastes, and stop bluntly bashing on people's rides. Some would want to change and performance, others could want to primary have a car built show, and the rest may want to get the best of both worlds or just remain stock; regardless of the route its the owner's choice.

Now think carefully about what your going to say next instead of making another ignorant short comment; otherwise, I'll go Creole on your ass.
Your not my grandpa!

Cool, major props not being afraid to drive that thing around. Me, myself, personally, I'd be scared that I'd blow a bag by hitting a bump in the road too hard.

I'll be keeping an eye out for your ride and the phase 2 process.

hey bro, just make sure that the bag isn't rubbing on the lower arm, if not you are going to bust one and its not going to be nice... Same way you did the bag cylinder on top of the bag, do one for the bottom, drill some holes, and screw them to the holes in the arm, and you'll be set nicely... If not, they do sell some coilovers that you can put airbags on.
One Stop Customs is all hydraulics, so I know a bit about hydraulics and altering suspensions (lowrider style). :-D

Well since the bags just replaced the springs, I believe there isnt much to worry about. Other than having some part of the car rub on it like the wheel/tire or a bolt on like a shock or something. It would suck for this to happen

they do sell smaller bags which would work nicely on the back of the fits instead of using those big bags which are more for heavier gm style cars...

You would have to be trying to blow a bag if you hit something. I'm talking trying hard. Unless of course you have a really crappy bag job.

oh no it doesn't rub, that's an outdated pic as we have it sitting nicely in a little cubby hole where nothing touches it.

Yeah the picture I posted was off an install for a GTI. I believe that its the smallest bag that universal makes in that shape. That one happened to rub one the shock bolt cause it much closer on GTIs.

On topic: Very nice fit! I can't wait to see it when all the work is complete

What PSI are you running in the rear? I have to run 40 in the right rear and 60 in the left to get to level driving height.

Thanks for all the compliments.

yeah, the setup is set for slow, it would be better to be on fastvalves, plus you get a smoother and quieter ride on fastvalves. The stance that it gets is what I am talking about.
