Right, so my G is stock suspension wise and I have the Accuair e-level being delivered in the next two days. The car is a DD and I have a minor issue with driving the car up the dirt/sandy road leading to my house, trading car off is a option it will be payed for in the next 1.5-2yrs. Everything that I have read points out that if your looking to ride "low" and maintain that track like handing you need coilovers. By the Looks of likes people have stated that riding "low" with bag causes the car to "bounce" but nobody states that the e-leveling have this issue. If so which is the better option coilovers or an adjustable strut/shock, please keep in mind I just spend a good chunk of change an money is tight.

 

Im a little confused as to why you're wondering what setup is better if you already ordered it. I can't speak from a lot of experience because my E Level should be here next week, but I am on BC racing coils right now. What I can say is that the ride is extremely smooth but of course stiff because if I didn't set the dampening to full stiff my car would be slapping the floor. That being said, the car is bumpy… not bouncy.. but bumpy if that makes sense. I have ridden in a bagged car at the same height that Im at with coil overs (my car is about 3 inches off the ground) and man does it feel like an S class or 7 series… Thats all I have to say.. Bags are beautiful. You'll enjoy it as I will

 

I take it that you will be running your coilover w/bags, right? That's what I'm wondering if I should do? I don't lose any handling performance. When you have yours installed let me know how she handles on bags w/coilovers

 

Ps are you DIY install or having a pro do it? I just finished up the wire aspect of the system last night. Now I'm waiting on some stainless steel hose and 4 fitting to come in.

 

Are the compressors laying on its side? If so, I heard it'll burn out faster that way. I could be wrong.

 

Yeah im doing the install myself.. I want to do copper lines but Im not sure how hard it is to bend them. Is anything difficult so far?

 

Yes they are lying on their sides. Had to lay them on their side due to Height restriction. But I could make some brackets that would allow me to angle them slightly up. My father, a mechanic for 3/4 of his life tells me they should be fine like that. But he could be wrong too, good thing I registered them with the vavair

 

Copper tubes would look bad ***. See if you can find a small handheld pipe bender. My g be a DD it's not sensible for me to get too fancy with the install. But I will redo in the future

The hard part was the planning stage. You know **** like, where to put the air lines at.

Hardest part is the sensor deal because we don't have a lift. But I'm confident that we can pull it off with jackstands.

 

Me demoing my setup

150psi (factory settings) it takes almost a min to fill back up

 

Yeah harbor frieght sells them I believe. And yeah man not looking foward to the install but totally looking forward to the sweet satisfaction after! And nice progress, always music to our ears!
