Iam thinking about getting a civic and was wanting to put cans on it,but i want to buy everything at a time instead of all at once(y i don't know)i know the basics like cylinders compressor/s tanks but my only problem is the fittings,like what angles,straights ,tee's,elbows and how many.Ive seen some that are brass and some that are push-n-pull.what size inlet is on the cans? and i'd probally run 1/2 or 3/8" valves with fbss bogleg.

i have heard bad things on putting hydros on unibodies, eventually they will flex and your car will be permantly sitting dogleged.
but never done one so not sure. If u are wanting any hydros or airirde hit up rick at fmkustoms.com he will hook u up

I like hydros with accumulators on Hondas alot better than air cylinders. I had a civic with juice and a big slider for five years never had any flex problems even three wheeled it all the time. you can get a nice chrome two pump four dump set up with accumulators for well undeder $1500

Yea if you know someone with fab skills then juice is the way to go, but if your going to be doing this yourself then the bolt on cylinders is a better choice. Hydros will get you a little lower than cylinders will also.
