Stut bags definetly ride better...but you can be rough as hell with some cans!!! Talking about hopp'n and tuck'n some three wheel on cans, there rugged.I look at it like this,...strut bags on a Caddy. And cans on a Honda. "Lost Cause"

I have cylinders on my 95 coupe and it rides just as good as when I had Eibach Sportlines, but only when its set at the right height. It's definitely worthless when you have em air'd all the way up. With a little cutting, you can have it sitting pretty low. With cylinders, a 4 point gauge and speed control plugs are very helpful!

Ive used both Easystreet strut bags and Cylinders on my customers cars and I would never use a cylinder again. The ride is soooo much better with the struts and with the big rims that my customers put on the struts tuck more than enough. Like someone said earlier, the cylinders ride good on flat road at one specific height. Here in NY the road are never flat, not even on the highway so cylinders are going to bang at any height and both on compressio and rebound. One more thing, the easystreets are adjustable shocks, with cylinders you dont even run shocks. Accumulators are a poor substitute. All an accumulator is, is a small air reserve. You can use a 1 gallon tank. Aim sells their accumulators with a rubber membrane or something that allows you to use 1 tank for 2 cylinders. Im sure it makes some sort of difference. Good luck.

im running cylinders and the ride is good as at the ride height, prob beta than wen i had super low springs, im not running accumulators, all i have is a lil valve on the bottom port on the cylinder which has a spring in it and just lets out a lil bit of air at a time, kinda like a shock. if u have the money for struts go hard but cylinders are good for the price
