You can also get a set of factory replacement stuts, like a set of KYB GR2's.

Quincy,

Unfortunally we have the largest port that is able to be put in the bag. With the inner chamber there isn't much room between the inner/outer bellows for an air port. You will be surprised, it will move very will with 1/2" line going into the 1/4" ports.

you will be surprised... I actually have customers that are running 5/8" Inside Diameter line into our Aero Sport. My understanding is that its kinda like a fire hose, they run a large line and then reduce it down. By stepping it down for that very short distance it will increase the velocity of the air.


Here is a Video of an SC.

Then pick up a set of KYB struts from your local auto parts store.

That video is with 1/2"

That's just regular air because twards the end of the video you can see how its running out of air.

most likely you can find a used oem set up for sale somewhere in your area. i found someone selling a set for 150 in the bay area but i dont think thats close to where you are tho.

Is it safe to say the 3.5 cfm is at freeflow? What was the tested voltage? Also what is your maximum amp draw @ what voltage and what psi?
