nned help on what to use juice or air and need pics please

ok here is what i have ...its my girls car a 96 camry and want to bag or juice but it look like to me the only thing i could use is juice cause the botom of the spring hang over above the tire and if i was to use air cylinders it looks like they would bottom out on the tire and not lay the rear is easy and could even use bags ...but my question is anyone got info on what to use and any inof/pics will be very good help

That's a mcpherson strut setup. You can't use cans (cylinders) on mcpherson strut applications.

When you bag it, the entire strut assembly will be replaced so you won't have to worry about what hangs over the tire right now, as it won't be there anymore.

You need to look into a strut bag kit to bag the front of the Camry. Or go all out with a custom front suspension.

yea but strut bags do not lift much and also the stroke is very small

I've seen decent lift out of stut bags used on VW's. If you want 10" of lift then go with hydros. Bags don't lift as much as hydros, but then again, you only need it to lift enough to get over speedbumps and in driveways etc. Anything more is just a waste. Not to mention, there's nothing you're going to bolt on and be sitting on the ground., so that's that much less height you need out of them.

id juice it... itll sit lower and get hella lift
or just use cans its just as good. you just have to deal with the compressor sound . ive been on air cans since i was... 17 and im 24 now. either way both options are gonna replace the whole strut and shock.

i would do hydros. im trying to get my stuff together to switch over to hyros from bags.

yea im just goona juice it cause i have air on my mini and i love the lift and sound of juice ....just need some pics of the cylinders installed ...also would i mount them upside down or rightside up? can you post pics please

Yes you can but speaking from experience I wouldn't suggest it. It's more work than it's worth. It'll get you low but you won't get much lift so you get into raising steering components, etc. It'll also ride like shit. Juice is the easiest way to get low and avoid the headaches when dealing with macpherson applications.

Pic of my Sentra when I had the cans up front and bags out back on 18's

How it sits now with juice

^^^^ nice

anyone got pics of how to use the stock strut to mount the cylinders and any installs on this type front susp...i know how to use tube to make some struts what i most likly will do but just need some ideas..also do they make smaller compact pumps and tanks?
