9 months ago when i was all set to get the entire air kit, i was GOING to get the CCE cans from Gauge... I can finally order all my shit and now Gauge has switched to FBI.

So now my question is, what brand Cylinders should I go with?

CCE, FBI, EAI, RailIt Customs, MIC, ShowTime, DNA?

So many diffrent one's i have no idea which to get now.Thanks all!J

MIC are SMC brand? I know SMC are the best of the best...

MIC has diffrent versions of Cyl's... are both the 145psi versions and 300psi versions SMC?
This is going on an Acura so the 145psi's should be the right size, correct?

Thanks man!

btw, before anyone start telling me to get AirStruts, I can't because I can not "mod" them... my body sits much lower then stock already so I have to modify the Cans/Struts so when at 0psi i'm not smashing into the ground.
(unless there is some way to mod the struts now?)

Thanks again all!

The FBI cans are from DNA. We've sold them for about a year, and not really any problems... but we don't sell a whole lot of them either. I'd guess that we've sold around 2-300 cans in the past year, and had less than 10 come back with problems- not too bad, but I'm not saying they're all that and a bag of animal crackers either...

yeah man im runnin 4in in the front and 3inch in the back i run 180 psi all the time and it has never had one problem.ill tell u how shitty eai is. one of my boyz just put some eai cans on his civic and BRAND NEW when he lifts the back up all the way it leaks all the way back down out the bottom of the clyinder, i tried to tell him but no no ill go the cheaper route well u see what that got him but thats just what i think. so wherever u can get smcs get em i wouldnt go with anything else

Seeing as though all you guys and running 180-200 psi, i assume you go with the 300psi one's with 4"bore, 4" Stroke, via this link: http://www.masterimagecustoms.com/store/4x300.html

??
And should I go ahead and get a "rebuild" kit for it or no?

Thanks again all!
