Hey,
I am thinking about putting air cylinders into my 72 eldorado (because it has fwd and torsion bars bags or strutbags just wont fit anywhere). I started looking around at air ride online stores, but nobody has cylinders that have a big enough bore and any kind of decent stroke.
So then I started looking directly at air cylinder manufacturers. I think I have found a few cylinders that should be able to fit (with some notching of the upper A-arm) and that are strong enough to lift the 5000 lb car. I am looking at cylinders with a 4" bore and 8" of stroke. They are rated at 200PSI opperating pressure and are intended for industrial use.
I would like to know what any of you think about putting cylinders like this into a car....or if anyone has experience putting cylinders into a car with torsion bars. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
