hydros or air?

im building a honda civic and laying it out on 20in wheels the problem im haveing is that i cant get a bag in there so i think of doing hydros bc the smaller but i really dont want to go that way so i need some help with this and i need to know about hydros the pros and cons Thanks for the help people

pros.. quick, reliable if installed good. lots of lift. sound cool

cons... fires, leaks dead batteries.. all if not taken care of.. hydros do take a bit more maintenance but if you maintain it it will be just as good if not better in some instances than air..

to avoid the dead battery situation you can always run a streetcharger.. full batteries all the time.. as for leaks. you just have to replace seals ride quality can be as good too if you run accumulators on the setup..

me i personally like juice cause not alot of people run it.. plus it sounds good

zeeet zeeeeeeeeet

get good stuff. install it well. you'll love it. I do.

where is a good place to get the stuff at and what all will i need i know that i need pumps and batteries but what else

I'll second that.

FLEETVR for life

Could always get air cylinders..they just replace your struts or you could do air struts...they ride easier. Personally I would cut and weld away just to bag it..yes yes

I've got bags on my bodydrop and hydraulics on my caddy.... I love air ride but nothing can even come close to the power and useability of hydraulics. Hydraulics got a bad name from all the bunk setups from the past. If you install them right they won't give you any problems. I've ridden in a couple honda's one with air and one on hydraulics and Bar none I would say hydraulics is the way I would go.... 2x or 3x the lift and with accumulators they will ride just as good if not better than stock.

cool where is the best place to get them and what all would i need

i have a prohopper settup on mine and i love it, you will never see me on air unless its a truck that i tow with. just get a kit(i have a 2 pump) and get reg flow cylinders,well your not gonna be mounting the cylinders like factory so you def wouldnt want rev flows.
i had leak problems with the fittings that came with my prohopper kit but i replaced them with all parker and not a leak for 8 months.
get accumulators. your car will ride better then stock.
if you can hardline it, its pricy but looks so good.
i didnt have good luck with my streetcharger, i just bought a multi-batterie charger and i couldnt be happier.

good luck man

the sound alone is enough to make me do my next vehicle with juice. lol seriously
