Raise or lower your nsx at the push of a button

2 the system comes with a small air compressor that pressurizes the air tank. You can go up and down as many time as you like.

This is not like a propane tank that comes pressurized. The kit comes with its own compressor which charges the air tanks.

If the tank repressurizes, what is the advantage of having a 3 gallon tank as opposed to a 2 gallon tank?

Also, you mentioned that $3,000 is the NSXPRIME member price. But on your website, it looks like $3,000 is the price for anyone. Is there a special price for NSXPRIME members?

Wow. In the vids your system didn't seem to make a peep. Is it totally silent or was it just the vids?

The system is almost silent when raising the car and just a slight hiss when dropping the car.

A 3 gallon tank has more capacity and therefore you will get more use of the system befor the pump must engage to repressurize the tank

$3000 is the nsxprime price I set it that way so you guys can use the shopping cart and purchase by credit card.

Does the tank repressurize after each use, or does it repressurize only when the tank empties out? How long does it take to repressurize the tank?

Hi the system repressurizes when the rated psi falls below a certain level. Repressurizing the system takes only a short time and depends on air volume left in the tank.

If you guys have anymore questions feel free to call my cell also 206 229 7856.
I am happy to answer any and all questions regarding the system.

I can't be near the computer alot today

Last question. Can you give an estimate time to install? How about a difficulty measure? Basically is this a DIY'er thing or do we ship the car to you?

Hi the install time will vary but it is definitetly DIY no need to ship the car. you will need to remove your struts to add the piston but it is strictly bolt on. From there its just a matter of running air lines and hooking up power. I am available everyday for tech support.

So is this mainly for clearing driveways or anywhere you might momentarily need to raise your car? Because once you're raised you're riding on air and your alignment specs will change. Is this correct? How's it feel riding on just air and how long can we ride on air for a given time? Either way I think this is a great solution to saving our front lips so we can keep the car low.

Hello your assumption is correct in respect to the application. You can drive the car in the lifted mode as long as you like but the ride is a little bumpy. I mainly use it to clear driveways and then just dump immediatly after but during prototype testing I regularly drove on the freeway etc. with the system in lifted mode with no problems.

How much just for the cups? I have all the air management already.

Hi, the system components are not available individually.

[nsx1]

HI as I said above the setup in my personal car uses an optioonal larger air tank, a smaller tank is available.

Total system weight is under 20lbs

And lastly(for the last time EDFC adjusts dampening not ride height

The 3 gallon tank is too large for my taste. I would be interested in a smaller tank.

You mentioned that we have the choice of 2 gal. or a 3 gal. tank. Can you post a photo of the two tanks next to one another so we can get an idea of the size difference.

Thanks.

Hi, I will have 1 and 2 gallon tanks back in stock this coming tuesday and will post pics.

Ok here are a few comparison pics of the single 3 gallon tank in contrast to the dual slim line 1 gallon tanks. Also a few possible mounting locations for the dual 1 gallons including a front mount setup.

Hey guys here are a few pics of the setup Jeremy and I installed in his 1998 NSX. he opted for the Dual 1 gallon slim line tanks which are also constructed of aluminum just like the available 3 gallon tank. As you can see the 1 gallon tanks hardly take up any room at all and installation was a breeze.With this configuration you will still have room to fit your targa in the trunk if you want to. Complete system weight is still under 20 pounds.

Ravi,

Will a single 1-gallon tank work?

Thanks, Steve

 

[KANE]

A single 1 gallon tank will not work. you need a minimum of 2 gallons.

feel free to call with any more questions

Will the current setup work on Ground Control coilovers?

Hi, yes it will work with the ground control setup or any other coilovers on the market. I do the configuration in house before shipment.

Here are a few pics of other coilover setups we have done also.

We have worked hard to revise the tank/compressor component of the kit and create the most compact unit possible. There fore taking up as little space as possible.

We now include a custom mounting rack specifically for the NSX for the tank/valves/and compressor that bolts into the trunk using factory bolt holes. No drilling is required for installation

The systems now come completely pre plumbed ,assembled, and prewired for a 3 wire total hookup.

Installation can be done in a matter of hours with hand tools.

I keep telling Lamborghini the exact same thing about the LP640:smile:

In fact due to the rising cost of raw materials(aluminum) There will be a $200 price increase for the kit on the first of the year

Hi guys, in the past we had not offered a front only kit, however due to the amount of inquiries we have received I will offer a front only kit at this time.

We will be running a special on the FRONT ONLY VRH KIT until 4/25/08

sale price for a complete front only kit $1999+shipping.

5 kits available at this price.

Thanks:smile:

Would it be possible to mount this kit in the front of the car to balance out the car a little more? And how have you been Ravi?

Hi David, I have been well, how are you?

Yes the compressor and reservoir can be mounted in the front compartment of the nsx. The front only kit comes with a very small air tank, and also a bolt in rack for the front compartment.

For 2008 we have made numerous improvements to the VRH lifter system.

V2 VRH lifter improvements include:

Black anodize to cup bodies

Even stronger materials utilized

New improved seals

Piston speed has been increased(they are twice as fast now)

Modular valve manifold

Direct bolt in mounting rack specifically for the NSX

Arrives fully assembled and prewired for 3 wire hookup

OUR VFR KIT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROUDLY MANUFACTURED IN THE USA TO AEROSPACE STANDARDS OF PRECISION
