Hydraulics on a Flamed Solara on 19's

[makeitscrape]

That's your problem...sprint springs are known to sag too much. Hydraulics really wouldn't be your answer because you will only lose the comfort and stability of your car. True coilovers would help remedy your sag problem in the back.

Here's the thing... Flipside seems to be very knowledgeable in springs and a plethora of aftermarket goodies for our cars, but the one thing I probably am a bit more proficient on, and no offense Flipside, is hydraulics... See, I have accumulators my juice, so the car actually Floats like a cadillac... and by modifying the stock strut to work with the hydraulic cylinder, the car is just as reliable and stable as factory, PROVIDING, that proper maintenance is taken. Nothing was cut out of the car, nothing needed to be hacked, or anything with my juice install.

However, I recommend juice only to those who are willing to do the maintenance required, and as far as charging batteries, I have a street charger, so it charges while i drive. no mess, no hassle... If you're willing, more power to you i say...

Have a good one folks...

No offense taken! Glides smoothly like a caddy for sure. But will not out handle an engineered supsension of true coilovers or performance springs/struts in more aggressive driving. Different types of parts for different style of ride.

Neither the flames nor the hydraulics are my cup of tea, but I give makeitscrape a lot of credit for doing a great job with his car. This is what he wanted, he knew how to go about it, and he did it first class. Everybody has a different idea about what he/she wants out of their car. This one is pretty original.

First off it's Hydraulics not hydrolics...and second, that 99 Silverstream opalescent Solara was a Long Beach Grand Prix edition (it was one of 35 made) I know 3 other people with the same package #17, #23 and #5. I've seen that car when it first came out...even before it got it's magazine coverage in Euro Lowrider. I give the owner plenty of credit for transforming his car. But why would you dismantle a factory approved performance package which I know he paid more for than a regular Solara with the same options (i.e. TRD Struts/Springs and TSW/TRD wheels) in favor of hydraulics? The car had up to a $4k markup from sticker price. This was the case with all 35 LBGP edition Solaras that were sold only here in SoCal. I mean yes to each his own, but what a perfectly waste of a one off package. No one is bagging on it, everyone has their own opinions and majority out there will think the same no matter what. Just because many of us don't like hydraulics on Solaras doesn't necessarily mean we hate it. Not every one is gonna see eye to eye on it.
