looks like you'll need struts and the brackets for them 200-300 for all those brackets new lines are not to much let me know what your going to do i will install it for 400 over a weekend just to make sure there are no leaks.. and that tank will have to be in the back were my sub is it looks like a 5 gallon.. tanks are cheap if you want to keep your bass.

I scratch my head hearing that it took people so long 
Definitely doesnt need removal of seats (except maybe back seats, which is a less than 5 min job) I found that removing the front struts to be the difficult part... IMO can be done in a day with some sweat 
my suggestion is do what I did (with my first set up) mounted EVERYthing to a platform in a way that once I got to the point of the install, all I had to do was run power and ground to it (if not done in one day, guess you can call it sage one of a 2 stage process)
did all of that while chillin in my living room watching t.v. you cant see, but under/behind the tank i have a jumper which allowed me to plug all the grounds from the valves to so when mounted the 'platform' all I had to do was run a single ground to it.
Stage 2 would be bag/air line install.

I do the same thing now. I can make the whole air setup work on or off the car. It is definitely easier and requires minimal down time on the car since everything is done off the car. Day 1 I took measurements and made the display.
Day 2 I did the wiring and checked the system for leaks.
Day 3 Took the car apart and installed the bags, lines, power, ground, and ignition wire.

Installed for $2400?!!! GO GET IT DONE!!! Their kit is 2300 and you get it installed for $100 bucks by professionals?! What are you waiting for? LoL... What kind of problems you mean? Honestly, with all the UAS 'issues' I've read, most to all have been user/installer error. All my 'truck' friends usually have problems with their lines being chopped off, but again due to install error. tanks, valves compressors last a very long time. Compressors can eventually fail, but probably in years. James VipeDout barely had to rebuild his after quite a few years. Just gotta keep everything maintained. Keep checking water traps and emptying and the such. All and all, very worth having

everyone seemed to have tested them out before installing....great job.
fortunately for me...I dont drive my car too often....so I could have it in pieces for as long as it takes.
I did my install on 3 Saturdays...1st Sat = remove rear seats, center console, run wires and airlines. 2nd Sat = install and mount tank under rear dash, install valves and compressor. 3rd Sat = install struts, test for leaks, and re-install interior.

for the 2400 i doubt it will come with gauges those are about 400 alone and is this straight from uas with the new brackets like these and the install will be basic for that price more than likely the tank to the side nothing hidden i like to keep thing clean and looking stock as possible. but definitly if it comes with all the brackets you need and all new fittings and lines its a good deal go that way for sure but do all your homework dont want any regrets afterwards in the pics shows the new upper bag mount which is needed and lower mount for the bilstein strut
