I've heard that's it's not bad at all, maybe u could PM some of the people in that thread and ask them (i wouldn't post questions in the thread because they asked for pics only no questions)

its a great ride. the ride depends on tire sidewall still though.
you can tell how full the bags are as well. spongy or hard...so you can adjust accordingly.

I'm getting ready to start piecing together a air ride system. But am curious to the dual needle gauges. Do they monitor air pressure from 2 sources or just one. Or is the second needle more like a warning needle for a bad pressure switch or something? And would the air line for the gauges be small enough to run in a pillar mount gauge pod?

dual needle gauges mease pressure from two seperate sources. as for airline in an a pillar, i can't answer that because i have digital set up.

rebelMan

two sources like magic said. My gauges use 1/8" airline so it's a lot easier to run through your dash etc. I think most guages are 1/8" anyhow.

So I should just need 2 dual needle gauges to monitor all 4 corners and maybe a single needle for the tank pressure. Thanks

Don't know who told you that but a lot of people have air ride:

You have heard completely wrong. I don't know of a single chassis design on the planet where air suspension could not be adapted to work, and work well.

how much have u guys paid for ur air ride then?

JDMJim

I like my air. Unfortunatly, I don't like the leaks. I still haven't been able to lock down the problem. Try to simplify your install as much as possible. That will make troublshooting easier. Equipment under the car? I am scared to do it cuz of the fact of how debris is really on a road or highway. the fear of something puchturing(spelling?) the tank, etc. I used 1/2 inch line. I feel the car drops too fast. I am wondering what I can do to slow it down a bit. Got a bodykit coming and I don't want to smash it into the ground. Use stiff aftermarket rear shocks and a sway bar in the back if the rear bags are one common line. otherwise the car handles really goofy and sloshy. I personally don't like it. That will get changed really soon.

Mine in the end is going to be around $1300~, check my sig



Jim you running 2 valves in the rear? I think i'm gonna just do 4 and be done with it, tired of all the debating

chino5149

Can't you just use/attach smaller line to your dump valves to slow it down a bit?

magicmanjk808

JDMJim, why not use these?

Spider13

You can use those, or just buy some end caps from home depot (not DOT, but its not a load bearing part). And drill them out until you like the rate of flow.

RTon20s

Spider13 is dead on. That is the quickest, cheapest, and simplest way to slow down dump valves. Just by the plug and drill it out. Start with 1/8" hole and see how it does. If it is too slow bump up the hole diameter 1/16" at a time.

JDMJim

one valve for the back.
