Alright from my math (not too great) I believe it says this list will only run me $556? And that's EVERYthing you need? Or are there other parts that I'm missing out on? I've been looking at coils for awhile now, and just read through this thread, and now my decision is up in the air...
Kennymo, you may need to add your recommended front setup as well. I'm sure you'll have more people asking about it, as do I.

****, if anyone needs help installing there air suspension I'd be down to help. In all honesty, the hardest part was routing the hoses. I'm paranoid just incase I wanna tuck frame or if I hit some bad debri on the road, don't want anything caught on my lines.
Kenny, would you have done anything differently regarding how I routed the hoses in the rear? I tucked everything inside the covers, used U brackets and bent them to protect the hoses from dragging, and for sharp edges I used silicone and black tape here and there lol.
I would recommend both top and bottom cups for the G35 rear perches if you don't want to deal with drilling lol. I called up AVS and ordered cups they only sent me two, so I used it to mount it against the top of the bag. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the spring perch and bolted the bag down. I got lucky, it was the perfect spot to drill the hole, NO RUBBING, the bag doesn't move and I used grade A bolts.
Note to those who don't have any hardware included, most of my bag setups were standard sizes. I think the only metric size was my gauges made by Viair.
I did notice that on max inflation my bags get really bouncy, I think that's because it's stiff *** hell lol. It feels like my friends Stance coils where its constantly bouncing (not like its blown or anything but just because it's so stiff) I was on the smog machine, my rears were bouncing about 1 - 2 cm's.
When I'm lower, my ride gets softer.
Here are my rear bags installed D25's with only a top cup. Funny, I tried to install my cups inside down last time.. but yeah once I came to my senses, you have to get a fat dremel to cut threw that steel. I cut about 2 inches off the cup so I can make room for the hoses to be routed.
I highly recommend you guys get a professional to do any custom fabbing, drilling, cutting because I busted my hand with the dremel and it was no joke. The debri of the steel came at me and that **** hurts like hell. Wear long sleeves, goggles, the whole works when cutting. Don't thug it out like I did because I still have small scars here & there lol.

what the hell did you hop off a curb for? haha
but im guessing maybe it was way to much pressure coming down on the bag and you might not have the airline seated all the way in the fitting so it might have pushes the air out the weakest link.

make sure the bags are cracked or weathered to badly. take the valves and take one wire to the pos bat terminal and tap the other wire on the neg and you should hear a click from the valve. that click will tell you that its working. (doesnt matter which wire you use for the pos or neg. they are interchangable) same thing with the compressors. touch the wires to the battery and it should turn on. if you can i would order some new airline just because i never liked using used airline.
