[ctrl50]

@trailrigg2010 I upgraded to the marzocchi pump heads, but the basic rockfords are also good.

[MegaWarpedmind]

bout how much it cost to do it

[MegaWarpedmind]

i got a cavalier and want to do the same you dont got a parts list and total cost do you any info would be great

[ctrl50]

@MegaWarpedmind I dont have a parts list. I built it from parts from blackmagichydraulics, and hydroholics. It's just a basic 2 pump setup with 4 batteries. I used the stock mounts for the cylinders, and made new upper mounts from steel and powerballs.

[MegaWarpedmind]

@ctrl50 what did it cost

[MegaWarpedmind]

[SteveKarlEdelen]

So dog leggin it on 3 wheels never hurt the unibody.

[ctrl50]

@SteveKarlEdelen It hasn't yet. but I dont do it all the time.

[SteveKarlEdelen]

Sorry about the extra comments they weren't showing so I kept hittin the post button.

Hey man, I have air bags on my ride and I'm thinkin of switchin to Hydros. Can you answer me a couple questions. Is that a unibody? Did it have struts in the front and shocks in the rear? Do the accumulators realy make it ride good enough to driver it daily? How does it ride? It's kick ass by the way. Is it reversable back to stock?

[ctrl50]

@SteveKarlEdelen Hey, it is a unibody, everything is stock except the hydro's. It did have struts in the front and still does, I cut them up and mounted a cylinder inside of the strut housing, same with the rear. The accumulators make it ride very good--almost as good, if not as good as the stock suspension. I do drive it daily and have for 2 years. Havent had any problems with the hydros. It's reversable--I have all the stock suspension, and can replace it in about an hour.

[SteveKarlEdelen]

@ctrl50 Sweet man, Can you give me a few more details on the setup as far which brand and what type of cylinders and pumps I should go with? CCE is what I'm planning on going with but I want to do my homework this time around. LOL. when I put air bags on my ride I didn't and found out that airbagit .com sells crap. Don't want to make the same mistake twice so If you have ahad no problems and been driving daily for 2 years, I'd say you got it right.

[dumpedcorolla]

love it :) i used to have a cavy on air struts

[worknlikeadog]

sweet is that system custom or bolt on?

[ctrl50]

Thanks. It is both, I built it to be bolt in.

[worknlikeadog]

Well its sweet and not Over done with a body kit and huge rims i like it. did you have to cut the wheelwells in at all?

[ctrl50]

Nope, as it sits nothing is cut out.

[worknlikeadog]
