..SSR.. Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Yes, it is stupid. Luxury cars aren't supposed to hop or "dog-leg", they are supposed to be quite, have a comfortable smooth ride (not what you get when hopping and crap). Luxury cars IMO. Mercedes-Benz Cadillac Bentley BMW (some) Lincoln Mercury (Marauder) No offense, just my opinion. BTW, goo job on getting in a magazine (if it works out).

TLontheDL Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 im not sure if JuicedRL's car can "hop" i think he said he has air cylinders...or was it air bags? i dont think he said he has hydraulics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 well if you are a mechanic, you would think of dog legging as when a cars rear tires are not following the same track as the fronts and it seems to go down the road sidewaysish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juiced_RL Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 TL I do have hydraulics. I will staighten out the young boys ignorance. There are two different kinds of hydraulic setups. You all have seen the Impalas and Cadillacs with hydraulics that ride like crap. They use a small coil spring between the cylinder and the upper spring cup. They do that so they can hop their cars off the ground. The setup I have done does not have the springs but instead I have installed accumulators. The accumulator is placed between the cylinder and the pump. The accumulator has a rubber blatter inside and on one side is Nitrogen gas and the other side is the hydraulic fluid. The nitrogen gas chamber is charged at 500 psi (that is adjustable smaller cars) and acks like a gas shock. Wow a completely adjustable shock to a single inch of pressure. My car actually rides better then it does stock. Have you ever been able to drive up a rounded curb at 45 mph without your car rocking around? I can every bump I go over the accumulators do their job and and I don't feel anything. There is a road by my house that my stock suspension bottomed out on at 60 mph I can now take that bump at two inches off the ground without rubbing. Super Street I do not talk about turbo's and all that BS because I don't know about it so do not talk about what you have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I don't think anyone besides maybe 2 ppl on this forum care about hydros and bags or whatever. Bags, hydros, all the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like every time I post something you start running your mouth and if you didn't care about the suspension then don't comment on it. I was simply informing you that you should have facts before you speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 its not my style, but hey...if its a car thats not stock then its got my attention. i have nothing against air suspension (or other forms of hydrolics) i just dont' think people should put them on track cars...or cars made to go fast, as i have stated before. but on luxury cars its nice as hell. if i had a acura cl/tl/rl i'd most definetly put air ride on it. but, air ride is not going to go on my civic. eibach coilovers are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiced_RL Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Exactly thank you honda civic and it's not like the RL is very fast or in any way performance minded from the factory. Am I going to put hydraulics on the Audi S8 oh hell no it will get awsome struts and coils and at that time I will probably ask some of your opinion on which ones are the best.

sup Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 alright lets leave it at this, the only cars that should have airbags or hydros, without being rice are: 1. lowered pickup trucks 2. luxury cars 3. ghetto mobiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
