i got this one from ebay... 4 gallon.... it's kinda expensive considering its capacity....

The only thing that sucks about it is that it's not like a spare tire in which you can "bolt-in" like a spare tire. I had to make a little bracket to keep it down in the spare tire well. In fact... I placed it off-center so i can mount my 2 compressors next to it. So all of my components are hidden.

haha... my trunk looks like a disaster... air lines and misc wires ALL OVER the place. I think the only way to make my particular setup look clean is to hard line everything (something i'm considering in the future if i ever want to "show" my setup). This is why i built a false floor to hide everything.

As far as making a kit... still a possibility.... but kinda hard at this point since there are only a select few that would be interested.

Could you describe this better? You can adjust the ride height by the amount of air I assume? You also adjust how you want the ride by the amount of pressure? Is that at any ride height or the more air, the higher, the stiffer? I can't visualize it too well even after looking at the picture of the bag where the spring used to be.

YOu adjust how it rides depending on how much PSI you're running in each bag... the higher the PSI the stiffer it gets and also the higher the car gets obviously.... since I implemented this into the coilover... i can also adjust the "gain" if you will,....

so say for instance my ideal PSI is 90 in the front.... but i feel that it sits too low.... i can raise it up via the coilover perches... get it? I can also make it so that "all out" (fully dumped) leaves a 2 inch gap between fender or tire.
