Sup Mark, nice to see some meaningful input into this convo.
As an O.G. hydraulics-mad, "keep it ol skool pimpin all the way"-minded person, I must say that I couldn't really care less about weight, hell the heavier the ride is the better :biggrin: (just so long as the ride's tight, low and hopps)
I can understand you wanting to do something different, I'm in Australia and just having a lowrider (hydroz, air or even just dayumn lowered) is considered something different here, it's really very rare.
Good to hear that you have an engine driven compressor. The battery powered pumps are a huge flaw in hydraulic set-ups - it's simply not practical to have a trunk full of batteries running the motors on the gear pumps. Citroen have been selling cars with hydraulic suspension and engine driven pumps since before "lowrider hydraulics" existed - I just havn't figured out a good way of using such a set up to do all the fun lowrider things the way people wanna do them (so guess we're all stuck with a trunk full of batteries for now :uh: )
As for a "Psst" - why did you want your air set-up "VERY quit" ? Personally, I like the clicking, squeeling etc of hydraulics, it's all part of the fun :biggrin:
Now, back to the real topic - how do you make your ride hopp with bags ? Is it simply filling and emptying the bags with the right pressure, timing, etc, or what ? (please correct me if filling and emptying is not the correct term, I'm not used to bag lingo :happysad: )
