The photos earlier in this thread show cars with the manual option (black Honda I believe)

for those of you not old enough ask your dads or grandpas about having air shocks in the back end of their muscle cars for that raked look. It would be the same process like inflating a tire.

Yeah my brother has air shocks in his eddie bower Expedition, but I had the oldskool air shocks on my 76' Mercury Monarch for the rake look and now I do remember having to go under neath the car to fill them up at the gas station air pump. Man that brings back memories.

Yeah the last car I drove with air shocks was a 73 Duster 318 3 on the floor..... lots of fun.

Ogerdgonz is perfectly right here. It does not pay to get only the struts up front as the cost difference is minor. You can run these without a on board air system. Like stated you can run the filler tubes to convenient locations and pump up at a station or carry an electric pump with you that plugs into the lighter socket or carry a small compressed air can. This is the only system i am aware of that allows this...so each corner of the car is independent in this senario. Any questions? Keep asking.....

Man now I don't even want to put on my CO and just save up for these.

Thought this may interest some of you all..... this is the HPS Pro system.

Installed on this vw and a video....

HPS pro system

Iron_Lion_Scion · 02-19-2008, 12:11 AM

I don't see the threads for adjusting. Are these the coil-over/bag setup?

**ogerdgonz** · 02-19-2008, 01:21 AM

Read the post and not the photos...... this car is running the Pro system not the competition system that Steve has on his ride.

Two different suspensions from the same company. The pro is less money...... I forget the pricing on that system.

Iron_Lion_Scion · 02-19-2008, 01:28 AM

my bad I totally forgot there were two different models. They look very well made though.

I know a guy in my town running the protype Easy Streets.... I haven't heard him complain about the set up yet. And he drove it from Louisville Ky. To Indiana, back to Lexington Ky, then to Michigan, then home to Hebron Ky. lol

That was like 1 weekend of driving.

The HPS struts in my Gen 1 are doing great. Like I said the car rides vip style with barely a centimeter of space between the fender and tire up front. It has a nice old school rake to it. The struts have very little travel from full down to full up because they are designed for performance. The steel bodied non adjustable struts Premium Series have more travel. I can order either set custom right now. I am not stocking them. 2199 plus shipping for the HPS competition series front struts and rear bags...there is no significant savings in eliminating the rears on this kit. Premium series 1599 for the for pieces plus shipping.

OFF Topic: Easystreet has stayed in constant touch with me on the development of two new products. First the Gen 1/ 9 way adjustable front struts are very close to being available as is the plug n play air module. The Gen two kit is being tested and tweaked but is still many months away...probably late this year. Any questions on any of these systems can be directed to me at www.steve@scionpro.com.

They corner real well but tire clearance can be an issue if you hit a bad bump while in a heavy or hard turn.

P.S Just got an e-mail from Easystreet with spy photos of the completed Gen 2 xB kit...bad ass! goes way high and way lowwwwwwww. Will post when I get permission. Late May intro at Scionpro.com

**ogerdgonz** · 03-28-2008, 10:25 PM

Steve Jeremy already posted the photos i will make a new thread for your gen2 topic later.

Ask HPS how much for the super premium series.

859Toaster · 03-29-2008, 12:16 AM

is it just me, or does this thread lean on the lines of free advertisement.

I've seen the protypes in action on the easy streets. they look solid. I just want to see a full strut assembly, bags, mounts and all that assembled, but not on the car.
