Does anyone have any experience with the KSport Pneumatic Air Jacks? I like to do my own work on my car but dealing with a jack and stands is killing all motivation. I want to know how well they work, how tough the instal is, or just some general thoughts (besides it being cool ) Im looking forward to your replies!

Thats +20 lbs for just the jacks alone, not including the compressor and tank it needs to use... Seems like a lot of extra weight for no reason really...

If weight isnt a concern of yours and your looking for something different then its a different idea. I would be hesitant about working under the car though with those unless you put real stands under the car also... god forbid there is a failure in the pneumatics or they loose pressure the cars gonna drop

 

yeah weight isnt an issue i just prefer to do my own work and it would make getting under the car 99.9% easier and i was going to use an external compressor and have the connection in the trunk with the lever

 

Air jacks are for race cars. Get a very low car up and down in a hurry and with great convenience. At the track, I'm raising and lowering the car 4-8 times a day, so they would make a difference (if I had them ) I envy the guys that do.

 

oh and you weld them in and it is a big deal done by experts so you don't die.

 

i wouldnt have some shmuck toss them in i just want to know the quality of the product vs other companies

 

"Ksport racing pneumatic air jack is a must have for any serious racer looking to decrease pit time at the track."

 

not worth it.

 

I would be surprised that, when I do go to the trouble and expense, I would pick KSport. They are not particularly not well known on the track, or at least the tracks I frequent.

 

Oh and you'll need a nitrogen bottle in your garage.

 

I also though these things were only for race cars. You don't need do have compressed air source in the car do you??? When I see these jacks used during races... they attached an air hose to the car when they want to lift it up... and then take away the air supply to drop it down. The air compressor isn't part of the car.

 

not in the car, big tank external to the car, connects to a single inlet that raises the whole car at the same time. nice to have.

 

I was wondering on that which serious racer use Ksport product. I had a very bad experience with they products.
Anyway, the weight is not an issue when you have a race car whic falls under the weight limit of the class you should run. I have seen not once. Guys had to add weight to they cars to be legal in they classes.

 

we use them on the rear of our C6 Formula D car. works awesome, and theyre adjustable to get more height if needed (they have a threaded body like coilovers) for work at home, its definitely a luxury, and if you're changing tires often, its a lifesaver for sure. we demo them for people all the time and have not had one problem with them yet.

 

Can those of you that have them (any brand) show the mounting locations? Detailed pics so we know what and how.
