Lookin for a new rear set up.. on a budget

[ghost]

Lookin to see whats out there for a nice ride but low look. Also on a tight budget but im tired of the way mine rides. Its horrible lol and gettin on my last nerve. I bought the 2/3 eibach kit off ebay.. 1. because it was cheap 2. because it was easy to install. Of course like most people that install a 2/3 i was dissapointed with the stance and of corse the ride. I cranked the keys and cut the rear springs and made it 10 times worse.. we all make mistakes lol. Trying to find the best/inexpensive rear set up that will give me a lot of drop. I bought some 3" spindles from my buddy for the front so thats takin care of..

You could go probably find someone to to bags with a manual fill for less than $400 installed. You would just need

2- 2600 bags
Brackets
lines
shcrader valve
and a few fittings oh, and a manual switch and pressure gauge too.

If you can weld you could do the install yourself and probably get out for way under $300. If you did this setup you could add a compressor and talk when you had the loot.....

i was in the same situation as you are ghost. but i went with the ART rear set up, $535 for everything i need, including bolt in brackets, bags, fittings, shcrader valves. i can weld but i dont want my bag brackets welded in just in case i have a problem. it would take 20 mins to go to springs. i just have to wait for the kit to show up wednesday, i'll cut the bump stop brackets for max clearance and i get new shocks to boot.

Do you have the site for that??

ohh and send me some pics after you get it in.. like to see the heighths

yeah from what i have read, its like a 1 hour job. the time consuming part is installing the tanks, valves and switches. i dont have enough money right now, well i do but i have other stuff i have to do, i will get the other parts in time. right now i am running springs with helper bags and use a small cig adapter compressor i paid $6 for to inflate when i tow. is it ghetto?? yes!! does it work for now?? hell yes!! i am going to fab up some 1 gallon tanks to mount close to each bag so it will air up faster and going to do some carbon fiber work on my dash to mount my gauges and switches. so it will be slow but it will get done

i'll take pics when i swap out the springs for air bags and cut out the bump stop mounts
