I beer can'd my suspension compressor....
#22
After the fix my car hit level 4 for the first time in a year. I did it immediately after reaching level 3, so the compressor had to lift it and it took only 18 seconds. Couldn't be happier with the fix. Now I just need to replace the rear bags so I don't 'squirt' all that air out during acceleration squat!

YIKES ...don't do the lining idea do the shim idea
CAN WAS COMPLETELY SHREDDED.
DO THE SHIMMING idea instead (just search Beer Can).
THIS Lining the Cylinder THREAD SHOULD BE DELETED THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA.
I was pretty careful in my install...so maybe...if you do something slightly different? But a can is so thin....you are working with a pretty small margin.
Secondary problem is that you have metal shavings scattered throughout your system if it fails catastrophically the way mine did.
Next time I'll hold off on my writeup until I'm sure it works....just hard to keep it all in your head and it seemed to be working at first....
Oh well...live and learn!
