The guys over at the drop zone will be doing the work. www.dropzonecustomz.com

Hoebag ; I'am not doing what you think....there will be no switches, no valves, and no actuators...
the lines I will be running are 3/8 inch airline DOT approved.

you know the new issue of the lowrider EDGE magazine has got a big article on these air struts and how alot of high line aoutos are using them without the whole air kit and switches.

Is that only for the front? Hope it works out, keep us updated!
as for me, i am going for d2 coilovers real soon and I just hope that the highest height adjustment isn't too low.

what a nightmare...I just can't seem to get it right guys (and gals)

the air struts aren't being very friendly the set up is clean it goes up it goes down.....but the problem is without any air at all (just flat) the car still sits up about 2 inches from the fender ( no slamm look here ) there is something offerded called strut bells wich allow 2 inches lower.....but it simply is not worth the headache

I'm going with the GROUNDCONTROL coilovers for the Solara. hopefully the suspension nightmare ends there. BY NOW, ALL THE MONEY I'VE SPENT ON THIS MESS I COULD HAVE HAD JIC OR TEIN COILOVERS

true coilovers or air suspension with cylinders w/ actuators

the actuators will make your car ride like a cadillac even when really low, the ride is real smooth for air suspension
