air suspension

[Jonez3]

I've asked this before, but i'll ask again. I refuse to do anything less than gettting it bagged, so if someone that has had work done I would like to know everything, about the ride quality, can i be slammed?, were the parts bought if so from where, was there a kit used like the airride technologies airstrut or the modified coolride kit. please all specs on tanks, compressors, valves, bags, everything, the only thing i know for sure is the gauges and swtiches, lots of info i know, if anybody can help just e-mail me.

I have bags all the way around...well, bags in back with 1/4" ports, struts up front with 3/8" ports. The dummies didn't put the tank under the car so it's in the back. I have a 6-gallon tank with 4 ports. Two VIAIR 450C compressors fill the tank. I have a heavy duty pressure switch I bought online, adjustable from 40-200 psi. I had to replace all the poor wiring done by the shop, so now have 10 gauge wire running for the compressors, and have put a kill switch in the line in case I need to dump pressure from the tank without them coming on. All my fittings come from Motion Industries, although they are NOT a car company...mostly industrial air parts and the only local place with parts to replace mine. Directly from the tank, just passed the pressure switch, I have a T-fitting to split the line (3/8" line) into 2, then two more splitters to split into 4. I used 90 degree bending fittings to avoid curving the lines any. The four lines run straight back to each of the intake valves for each corner (4 corners, 4 intake valves total). The "exhaust" valves have no extra lines, so dump right next to where they take air in. I have a 10-switch box with a long line. It can do: front (all these up and down), back, left, right, each of the 4 corners, all corners together and see-saw. Soon, I'll be putting a simple, unlit pressure gauge on the tank and the gauges I have up front for watching pressure in each corner will be hooked up soon.

The original kit was VIAIR. The shop that got it for me no longer buys from them though. If you need more info, just ask here or email me.

Sounds nice. It must be frustrating to have to redo the wiring job though. I am sure you did a better job. Many shops just don't care.

Redoing the wiring was the easy part. Once their fittings (reused) started leaking, it took forever before I finally decided to replace all line and fittings between tank and valves.
