lol... His posts say nothing like that.

i have stock spindal didnt cut them i cut a pair 1 1/4 then it hit the tire so i change it out back to stock did the dead alxe cause dont like the camber in the rear to much

and im usin a mopar vr2 edc so i dont have issue on waitin on air its fast but juice is nice to if done right and can get hella lift and sides

i hate when people say bags are better then juice ... they both suck in there own ways .. you roll on bags and unibody drop that honda .. your first prob will be that you cant turn .. you wont get the lift. unless your only doing 17s or something .besides juice would lift higher and ride better then air..but thats up to you .. i have seen it done both ways

juice it up

dont forget about black magic, i havent ran anything but cylinders from them but i have yet to hear something bad about them, good prices too.

if you have any ?'s about hydraulics dont be scared to ask. at least one person on here will know an answer.


and seth, got anymore pics of that project?

wow, look at all the juice fans coming out of the woodwork. I like it! all you ever hear on this site is bags bags bags.

I have TONS of Q about juice h22wagon! Im only familiar with air. I have a 97 accord coupe. I wouldnt want anything crazy on it. I dont wanna hop it n shit. So would a 2 pump setup be good? Or just one? How do you know how many batt to run? Does it depend on how pumps u run?

What pumps and cylinders do you swear by? You were saying something about black magic cylinder?

Also with accumulators how do those work? They have a certain psi inside them or something?

Where is a good website to get this shit?

sorry for all the Q but i must AQUIRE KNOWLEDGE!!!! haha

well in my wagon i had a 2 pump 4 dump settup. you will get MOST of the moves, but you will not be able to LIFT lift one side or one conrer at a time. i ran a number 11 marzoochi pumphead and 4 optima blue tops at 48 volts. you can run down to 24 but it will be pretty slow. i would stick with 36 volts(3 bateries) or 48 volts(4 batteries)

i ran porhopper pro x pumps but were not very happy with them, i wished i spent the extra for the comp pumps. my next settup will be all black magic besides the accumulators.

accumulators are a bulb lookin thing that is made of steel and has a blatter in the middle. one side had charged nitrogen that can be regulated for different rides. and the other side is the hydraulics fluid that pushes on that blatter. i had parkers charged at 300psi

oh and my black magic cyliders were great. it is always a good idea to hone out your cylinders before you put them on. basically the cylinders are made out of pipe and they done really smooth out the inside surface to good so with the accumulators your seals will be moving all the time on this surface and will wear out in a few months, but if you hone them out(easy) they will last a lot longer.

hope that helped you.

also check out layitlow.com you will find tons of info. and there is a book you can order called "the science of hydraulic suspention" that is really good for a person in your place(wanting to learn). it doesnt get to crazy but has great info for someone that wants go get into hydros but doent know where to start.

any other ?'s just ask. and if anyone has there own twist of whatever i typed let everyone know so we all can learn. i dont claim to be a pro or anything. i just learned most of this the hard way. my car was the first thing i ever rode in with hydros, or adjustible suspention for that matter

Acually i have a question about juice... Can you use cylinders to replace the strut on a car equipped with the "McPherson" style suspension or will it tear up the seals?
