they are accumulators with electric bypass valves so u can shut them off from inside the car

basicly just more shit to go wrong and they are expensive as fuck

just buy accs and put manually shut offs on them alot cheaper and more reliable im sure

I agree wit Chuck...They are pricey and i think accumulators are the way to go here...Just my opinion but i cant see paying the extra...

I have a 2 pump CCE setup w/ accumulators, and while they don't make the car ride like a "Cadillac", it does smooth it out abit.

they are simply a cylinder and a spring and a shut off valve within a casing... nothing more than that, you can build your own fairly cheaply compared to the price they sell them for.

To Get A Better Ride Out Of An Accumulator , They Need To Plumbed
Closer To The Cylinder, To Get The Full Effect Of The Accumlulator
Also They Need To Be Charged Per The Operating Pressure Of Your
System For Shock Absorption 0.6 X Oper. Press.what Ever That Is ?
