NO! Dont do it! Sell it to mej/k.
Go for it you should be fine, you will learn what rides best by just playing around with it. So yeah... Sell it to me.

My air ride is on the road to me as we speak. I"m sure you will love it man, I can't wait for mine.

The good thing about it, depending what air ride you got, the easystreet kit has 9 way adjustable dampaning air struts.

On top of that by adjusting your PSI, it adjusts your spring rate, so you can have a smooth ride, tight ride, or whatever.

I'm new at it too and will be figuring it out all on my own as well. So assuming you will do it sooner then me, i'll probably be asking you the questions. lol

You shoud hit up crucialminds for questions, as i believe he did the install himself

My neon is a daily dragger............haha i wish

I've been driving mine on air everday for over a year now. No problems other than about 4 months ago i had to replace a comprerror. Make sure you use a Water Trap & drain it occasionally. Any questions just PM me. BTW certain roads you can ride lower on & some you have to be pretty high. asphalt roads are my favorite!!

Yes, now i got to take the fittings all apart and do what i should have done in the first place, use teflon tape instead of the thread sealant goo they gave me.

I was able to get about 45 psi until it wouldn't hold anymore. It also lost pressure as it sat, which means more the likely i'll have to redo the strut fittings as well.

I'll keep you updated on the progress buddy. When are you going to start on yours?

my kits for sale

neon_ert3 · Post by **neon_ert3** » Wed May 03, 2006 9:10 pm

the part that bolts to the back of the drums are too wide, i could drill a hole for the bolts but the metal is way to thick to try to bend it to make the gap smaller. i was gonna sell the bags and go for "GO" but i still want bags!!! i feel like my car is worthless now. i dont even wanna enter the show this weekend no more. hey yose if you dont sell your kit will you part it out?

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Wed May 03, 2006 9:14 pm

why don't you just use your stock upper strut mounts for the back?
