How do these compare to CX Racing coilovers?
Based on our 12 years of experience the quality is not as good. I had one customer contact me and sent me pictures of his wheel that fell off the car while he was driving. The CX racing shock absorber cracked in half and the whole wheel ripped off while driving. other customers have contacted me complaining about their shocks exploding. We have never had one single customer explode their shock to this day.
common question: do we recommend for air tank/ compressor system?
answer:
You have a few options depending on how much you want to spend and how much weight you want to add to the car.
Cheapest and lightest option is to plumb all 4 airbags to one fill valve and don’t Install a pump or an air tank or an Air management system.
Second cheapest and option is to install a pump.
Third cheapest option is to install a pump and tank
Fourth option is to install a pump, tank, and air management system. With this system you can raise and lower the car on demand anywhere you are. You can also choose to add more psi in the rear so you can tune your spring rates separately from each other with the air management system.
