best hydro cylinder??

I am looking to do a hydro/pneumatic hybrid suspension on the front of my VW because I'm really pressed for space.

I am looking for an 8" cylinder to mount in the front strut. What has the best seal setup??

I want to drive this thing and I hate leaks. I'm not looking for an air vs. juice debate here, but I don't know a whole lot about who makes the best cylinders.

any input is appreciated.

i like black magic cylinders. prohoppers look like shit so i wouldnt use them. cce cylinders blow the end off so def dont buy them. if i was you i would call up black magic hydraulics www.blackmagichydraulics.com is there website. im waiting on my settup to show up right now from them. good luck man, sounds like it will be sick. oh and use all parker fittings and use locktit 545 sealent not tefflon, it works way better

I own Pro Hopper Competition Cylinders never had a problem with leaking . Pretty much all the cylinders are manurfactured by the same company they all just stamp there name on them . When you get into Tele-scoping then some are made just for that company .

as long as you get the triple seal cylinders or ( competition) you should be good pro hopper reds or black magic all have decent stuff like homie above said dont go cheap and get good fittings so that you dont have to worry about leaks

thanks for the input. the triple seal pro hoppers sound like the way to go.

Don't forget about Showtime Hydro's as well. They have really awesomw cyclinders as well!! My boy is running them on his Monte hopper and has never had a problem out of them and the car stands on the back bumper!!!
