Ride Height/ Air Pressure question...

Ok, I setup my 92 accord with 1/2 valves and lines to air cylenders about 2 years ago. I was told at the time that because accords are fairly heavy they would require a lot of pressure to even get the front to lift. I have an 8 valve setup on the tank with a 200psi pressure switch. My issue is, it rides so hard it breaks stuff, I cant even keep the exhaust brackets from breaking. What are you guys running for PSI on your setups? I was also also told I could run a 1/4 gallon air tank inline with the cylenders to help increase the air volume in the lines, has anyone done this? Any help is apreciated...

bump?

how much PSI are you running in them?? The tank you are talking about is called an accumulator. to me it sounds like you are running too much air

accumulator bro would really help out

yeah you're running too much air in the cylinders. cylinders are cool, but to get em to ride good is like doing it with dros, it takes some work. you'll need accumulators or it will only ride good in the middle of the stroke.

Thanks for the response guys. I thought accumulators were only for hydro setups. Where can I get some of these?? Im have my PS wired for 200PSI but when filled my gauges only read about 170 i think (its been a while since ive drive the car so i cant remember). What do you guys run for PSI on your accord air setups?

Put a T fitting in line with the cylinder, and put a small tank to it. That way it will pressurize some into the tank.

Thats exactly what I was planning on doing. Im pritty sure I was told that 1/4 gallon tank should work ok, is this what you guys would recomend? I found some on truckspring.com but they want $40 a piece for the tanks, and I have FBSS setup so I would need 4 and all the extra fittings so I would be around $200 for that. I did the calculations and to make a 1/4 gallon tank, I could use 3" pipe at 8.5" long capped at the end with 1/4 fittings on the end. I just dont know if I could get them to seal air tight. Is this a good/bad idea to attempt to make my own?

You don't need them at all in the front. If you have the valves mounted in the trunk there is enough air in the lines to make the front ride perfect.
I ran 1/4 gallon tanks from truckspring on each side in the rear and it rode great. If you go any bigger (I tried 1/2 gallon too) it will be so soft that you can put your knee on the bumper and push it to the ground.

I only needed a 145 psi pressure switch and it was plenty for my car. I ran 4 inch cylinders in front and 3.5 inch in back.

I also didn't "T" my accumulators. I ran 3/8" line into one end and 1/4" line out to the cylinders. It wasn't fast but the small line between the cylinder and accumulator acted a lot like a shock.

My wagon rode very nice on air. It just took a lot of tuning.

thank man...thats almost the exact setup i have. but my front rides VERY ruff too.. it rides so ruff it broke the mounting brackets off my intercooler haha. But yeah, i'll probably just get those 1/4 gal tanks from truck spring. Does anyone have any input on what i mentioned about making the little tanks?
