Is it true, that these are for raising the car, to go over speed bumps only? And not meant for driving while the cups are fully inflated?

That's the main purpose of them. They only go down when you want them to go down though so there's nothing stopping you from riding with air in them.

With the economy the way it is, you'd be suprised how cheap installation can go. This is a simple kit to install, I'm sure you won't be charged too much, you can probably even do it yourself if you can install your own coilovers.

These can drop you pretty low, exact measurements, I cannot say because no one has posted this yet. But if they're anything like the SC's, you can probably tuck on 4 corners.

I'm not sure of the JIC ride, these are not soft if that is what you're thinking.

Yes, they are meant to be driven without any air in the cups.

so technically speaking..i could use the coilovers and jus use em as coilovers right? for instance..swap the coilovers first and leave em with no air..and drive around..and then finish the air part later? or will that cause problems?

Exactly. No problems whatsoever. You can run lines and install everything else later.

This should be the ultimate kit for those scrappin' the road Jump on it when it's hot guys!

What rims you have, will they fit 2001 LS? I can trade you with Air-Zenith 220PSI Air Ride Air Compressors.
