Best Air Suspension Set Up
I am seriously looking into bagging my ride. I wanted to know the best set up I should get that wouldn't put too much damage to my wallet. The only complete set that I've really seen is the one by scionpro.com, but I don't really want to spend the price they are asking for. I do like the pancake tank and that it is a complete set.
If you are bagged or want to bag, tell me what your set up is. Also, can you provide me any other places I can look at to bag my ride. I appreciate any kind of help.

Best is subjective. If you want the best, you'll be shelling around $3000 but everything will be top notch. The Airrex stuff looks to be super nice, but I've never installed it. The Airlift product is pretty decent, but my buddy's (and damn near everyone else I talked to) front struts popped while lifting. Plus, the first time he drove the car one of the rear bags popped off the plate mount. They sent him a new bag, but that kind of product being sent out is ridiculous.

My buddy picked up the manual kit from ScionPro made by Airlift. It's a decent setup. The Airlift 1/4" airline bends like a tree branch. It's absolutely awful.
It all depends on what you want it to do. If you want a basic setup, the manual kit will work well. You'll have to figure out where to mount the valves (which are also the switches and the airline has to be ran to them) and the gauges (just like the valves, they have to have airlines going directly into them). It's a bit of a cluster for the manual setup to mount, but it's not all that tough. You have to figure out where you want it. You could mount everything in the armrest/cubby and be perfectly fine with room to spare. You'll have to cut some stuff up, though.
