I finally picked up my accord today after 3 and a half weeks at the shop!!

All seemed good until I was driving home, and the front started bottoming out, when I looke dat my gauge, the front left and rear left were running on empty!!!

What would be the cause for the *extremely fast leak!?!? it leaks down from full pressure 140 psi to 0psi in like 10 minutes!!!!

Any help would be appreciated, Im gonna kill the fools who charged me to install this kit!!!

What good will another cpmpressor do man?

At the moment with the tanks full It lifts up and down a few times before the compressor cuts in, so if the tank is full and I go to raise the car the front raises very slow, and the back goes up and down fassttt.

They are selling me chassis-tech cylinders.....

ALWAYS fill the front first!

sounds like this shop was trying to rip you off and then screwed you by doing shitty work my advice would be to start doing things yourself give me a break dude everything BOLTS IN, and there is enough info on here to tell you everything there is to know

My question is for you guys with 5th gen accord's on cans, how do you go with clearance with the rear handbrake mechanism and the cylinder.

I am currently running chassis-tech cylinders and on the highest setting when its fully dumped the cylinder is rubbing against the hand brake mechanism, putting a gouge into my cylinders.

Is this because I have a camber kit?

I would really like to have it in the middle position on the rear lower mounts, but at this stage it seems unattainable!!!

Any help hints would be great!!

eai cans are the worst on th emarket,,,blow jack lift 10 times better belive it or not,,but are your cans the 3- 1/4 cans or the 4s,,,,i have had to replace many sets of these of these pos with smc cans,,they will lift fast on 150 psi

I have cce cylinders on my 90 accord I can lift my front with only 95 psi, I dont see how you need 190psi just to lift the front you can lift and entire fulsize truck with that psi,check there pluming and if it is ok and the back still jumps of the ground install ball valves on the supply line to the cylinders and slow the air flow down, what size cans are they,later

This is why we don't do cylinders. I had a customer about 8 months ago come in and want cans, I only use parker cans, so its reliable, but it took hella air pressure to get the front up, then had the same leak down problem, so unless they didn't tighten fittings, you need to get check valves. Cylinders got to be such a problem we just quit dealing with them

hell i used to have a 98 accord 4dr i could raise up the front with 100 psi with 3/8 lines sounds like bs to me
