Quote: and how do i know if its the shocks bottoming out
easiest way would be to lay the car out. mark the tire with chock where the fender sits at. take the tires off, then take the shocks off, put the tires back on, lay the car out again and see if you went lower than you chalk mark. if you did. then its the shocks

Might as well get something inexpensive since they are going to need to be replaced prematurely.

The difference is in the control, also with the rocker switch i don't think you'll be able to adjust the corners individually. You might want to look into getting brass fittings; the one that came with my kit were plastic.

if you are talking about the plastic push to connect fittings. those are a lot better than brass fittings

Reno from Accuair swears by the plastic PTC fittings, but i've notice that the plastic fittings didn't "bite" into the hose as much as the brass fittings from Parker. i've read that the hose have to be perfectly flat with PTC fittings, but i'm still having leak issues... ie. my car would be fully deflated after sitting for 8hrs.

most people that do the floating look either use the accuair bracket like sindaddy said or they make there own. personally i dont like the floating look because with alot of the tanks out these days it doesnt put the drain port on the bottom. and without a water trap you will get water in your tanks from condensation that the compressors make.

also. i wouldnt reccommend putting your compressor upsidedown either because the cooling head is meant to be on top. if you flip it upside down like i have seen people do it can overheat a lot faster which is always bad
