Ok man, did u order it online from them? I tried twice to place orders online via the internet and waited for a couple weeks and finally called them ... they never got my invoice. Their online ordering sucks so don't even bother with it, just give them a call and they'll get it out to you.

I got my SS bags, FBI brackets, switch box, and water trap from FBI (and my pressure switch). Got my tank, valves, and some of my air line from SuicideDoors. Bought my dual needle gauge and 2 3/8" T-fittings drilled for 1/8" guage lines fromt Innovative. Bought my comp. from SmartAss (on these boards). I plan on buying the rest of my valves from Suicide, my front ES bags from Gauge, and 2 more gauges from Innovative.

In my past experience, you buy as little as possible from FBI. When it is time to do the wife's air suspension the only thing we will get from them will be a set of rear bag brackets.

I agree FBi has gone down hill major. I know some people that have waited months for parts that have never arrived.

Ok this exact thing happened to me ... what FBI is going to tell you is that the SS bags ship direct from the SlamSpecialties. So that's why there's a separate package. I ordered all my stuff at the same time from FBI and the bags came several days after the brackets, water trap, and switchbox came.

Yea read RTon's post.

Once i'm done installing my front stuff i'm going to make another post of every part i used, where i got it, and of course how much it was. I will also post up the 100~ some pics i'll have taken by then. Not to be a DIY but just to give others a good idea of what is involved in an air ride install ... there are thousands of different ways to do things and i don't want to strickly say that mine is the "way" because there are tons of improvements i could make. I'm going for the lowest possible budget, but quality setup and install.

Seven switches probably gives you the following control...

1. Driver Front
2. Passenger Front
3. Driver Rear
4. Passenger Rear
5. Front
6. Back
7. Pancake

Yea what RTon said. I believe Scion1616 here on the boards with the PW xB (maybe sciondrgn) has the AVS 7 switch box. It does what RTon said ...

here is the one he has (or similar):



See how the outside 4 corners are for each wheel (top left is for front driver, etc.). The middle switchs in the outer 2 rows are for front and back (according to where they are on the switchbox). And the middle one by itself is pancake.

IMO that's enough ... depends on what you want ... i only got my box cause it was $20 and was wired correctly ... also this is my first bagged car so i want to test out all my options and see what i need and want in the end ... my box is definitely temporary. I don't like having the cable and giant ___ box floating around in my car ... i want something more stationary and clean looking ... like built into the dash or somethin

I have the AVS 9 switch. I like it a lot. I only wish I had gotten the black one. I have the chrome and every now and then it will catch the sun and blind ne for an instant.
