has anyone tried (air ride technologies) air struts? iwas wondering if they are ok or is there something better to go with? if so do you know what the cost is? thanx
art is good but they are very expensive
How much do they actualy cost for struts alone?
Because Im pretty sick of my easystreet fronts. Ive even gone to the stock upper mounts and cant get rid of the noise. And The struts are blown already anyway.
Ive got some goldlines sitting at my house but I know im going to miss the air. I would hate to have to go back to springs to get a decent ride.
I am all that is man
ive found the price for air rides struts. the fronts are $995 u.s and $849 u.s. they sell them together as a complete set for a tiny bit less than buying the front and rear separtly. is this a good price for struts?because i dont really know .
thats expensive comapred to easystreet....

thanx again for the info guess i will have a look at easy streets stuff but how good is it? ESB doesnt seem to like them much. does anyone else have suggestions mabye i should go with springs instead? ideas anyone
i like my easystreet struts. i dont have a problem with mine. theres a little noise but thats it and its only from the front driver side strut.
I never had a problem with the struts on the front screwing up. I have never driven it slammed and always maintained a proper ride height psi. But ESB has had them much longer than me I think...
I would say Easystreet is a good choice,... but I have never tested out ART...

I had the air ride tech's on my sunfire. But I just switched everything over to Easy Street. (Thanks Jim)
We use Easy Street at work all the time. And personally I like the ES's better. My car rides so much better with the ES's air ride. So I would just go with Easy Street.

Well damn it. I guess I just have to order some new struts from easystreet. And maybe they will send my upper mounts that I still have not recieved.
THe one that I have blown is about a year and half old. The other one is ok and is less than a year old. THe one being blown causes the front to lift sideways. So its always a pain in my arss to level it out because the blown one moves alot faster.
I am all that is man
sounds like a plan to me eazy's it is!
uh sorry forgot to ask what are the e streets ride heights?

If Easystreet doesn't send you the front mounts, let me know. I have an extra pair I could ship to you for the cost of shipping. I would give Jim Bigford a call tho, cause I'm sure he could set u up.
