Air Teaser

I pieced the management together myself.
Once i get the fronts im gonna make a full build thread. but since you asked heres 2 pics of how i did the trunk, the tank is colormatched now though.

The biggest problem i see is where to put the tank, since you quite literally have no trunk with the top down. Id have to be able to get in there and see exactly how much room is under the roof once its in the trunk.
For example, they just use a switchbox($100) so you have to manually control each corner, im using a computer($1000) so i can manually control it and also have 3 presets and it learns the car and raises it based on certain knowledge. Also they provide 8 individual valves, im using a valve manifold, much better.
Their kit doesnt even come with gauges so you have to get those too.
Heres my parts list:
5gal aluminum tank
2x Viair 400c compressors
Ridetech BigRed 3/8" 4way valve manifold
Ridetech RidePROe3
2x SMC 3/8" water traps
SMC fittings

Basically, if you educate yourself like i have and know what each part is you can save alot of money, for what they give you for 2300 i just pieced together for 1750.
If you just take the bags they give you, 600, and pair em up with coils, lets just say 1000. Thats 1600. My bags/struts were 2100. Everything else is can be the same, so i only spent 500 more, BUT heres the big thing, mine come pre-assembled, so i dont have to make any brackets or put anything together, its straight bolt on. Also ill get more range, im laying frame and i can go to stock height, you cant do that with bag over coils, its much less range. Also my struts are valved for air springs rather than coil springs so the ride is incredible.
