    I have two pumps, two batteries, and eight switches, along with an accumulator for the front. The car will do front, back side to side. I just built a speaker box that amazingly fit in the trunk with the hydro setup. Actually, if you copy this

    lets see some pictures hittin the switches. i know 2 batteries won't get you off the ground, but i'd like to see a 3gee tipped to one side. and what springs are you using? since the only stiffer springs you can get for our cars are lowered are you just using stock prings? i guess since you aren't getting off the ground having stiffer springs isn't as big of a concern. did you weld the structural members or anything?

    The biggest drawback to hydraulics is how much room they take up. This is a picture of our Prelude trunk (tiny) with twice as much stuff as it actually needs. (two tanks and two compressors) It is completely torn apart right now because it is about to go into the body shop. Everything is hidden when the trunk is together.
    But I am glad to see anybody who has adjustable suspension on here.

    are both of the Prelude's tanks just air? aren't some people using air and a smaller tank of hydrogen or something for quicker moves so that air bags can work more like faster hydraulic systems?

    Both of them are just air. I seriously considered using nitrogen tanks at first but the urge to play with it all the time went away quickly. Now I have slowed it down with those yellow handled ball valves so it drops and raises slowly.
    Before I slowed it down the back end would hop about an inch off the ground when I hit it up. It made it seriously hard to adjust driving height when it was like that.
    I have had hydraulics in the past too. I had the same setup, two pumps and two batteries. They were a lot of fun, but I would never go back.
