thats what i would recomend using for the front. but you are still not going to have the spring weights of actual coilovers. but its not bad. its still good handling and give you options for height

i would call around and request to see photos, regardless you shouldn't go cheap because you get what you pay for... i would make sure those are DOT fittings, and recommend some kind of air management setup, it help take the guess work out of ride height.

the compressor will only try and fill the tank once the leak makes the tank pressure drop below what the pressure switch would kick it on at.

that ebay kit comes with everything you need. BUT it uses half inch valves which is way to big for our cars. they will be too quick.

you might want to upgrade your battery if you are running air ride AND a huge stereo.

like sindaddy said you want to have guages. it makes things a lot easier when you can see what psi your bags are at and it also helps when something MIGHT go wrong with your tank pressure

sindaddy im not really sure what kit you are refering to as cheap but IF it is the kit that i put up in post 2 that you are refering to, those parts are not cheap parts. they are all top quality parts and i have used them more times than i can count without anything going wrong. the only parts i would tell anyone to stay away from are parts that are made by AIM. also known by shAIM to the air ride community.




to everyone else including blak max, why wouldnt you just get the kit i posted in post 2? its a great kit, more than likely cheaper than anything else you are going to find unless you get all used parts, and it includes everything other than the fittings. even these kits like the ebay one that claim to include all the fittings you need DONT really include everything. they only include everything if you set it all up EXACTLY how they want you too. which means if you want to hide lines or make things look better you are going to have to buy more/different fittings anyways.

i was reffering to having a cheap install, Kenny i know there a big battery debate between redtop vs yellow top, vs die hard and other brands, but in your opinion what the best battery for heavy application, such as powering two 400c compressors? Thanks.

know them? would they make a G35 kit/deal ?

also if for some reason youre dropped and something goes wrong(comopressor goes bad and tank is empty). would there be anyway of fixing it on the spot? would you not be able to get towed?

yes i know almost everyone that works at AVS.

if your car is aired out and your comp breaks AND you have zero air in the tank. well then you are **** out of luck. just dont put the compressor under the car where you cant get to it if you are aired out

what is stopping you from going lower right now? the only thing i can think of that would stop anyone from going lower on a G is going to be shocks are maxed out (compressed as they can possibly go, or the tires are hitting the inner fenders. if the shocks are maxed out in the front i think you are pretty much as low as you are going to get. if the tires are hitting the inner fenders your only real options are...for rear is to tub the rear for front would be to run smaller tires since you cant tub the front on our cars and i dont know of shorter shocks
