Dual Compressor Option - The Full or Front Kit only comes with 1 Compressor. However I opted to get 2 since I like the look better.
Air Line coming out and Zip Tied to the brake hard line. All Air Lines are Run inside of the car. it's 1/4 inch air line so it's pretty easy to hide and run inside.
Switch Placement. Most ideal place and easy access also didn't have to cut new holes into anything.
Switches relocated into the center console. Just to keep em functional.

Thanks, I like what you did with the switches only ill probably reverse what you did and ride partially aired to get lips away from fenders so I don't have to constantly go up and down (terrible roads 
)
Do you think it would be possible to mount the air tank and compressor in the spare tire hole? I took mine out bc bbk wont let it fit anyway and putting it all there will be real clean and not loose any trunk space

Im sure this comment will be lost in all the others, but...
No cup kit manufacturer recommends driving with air in the cups. The seals can blow or be damaged. So slammed guys will need to be slammed while driving anything over 10-20mph.
I also only had the front kit, so the rear skirt or exhaust will still scrape over every speed bump and maybe even worse because the see-saw effect when the front goes up but rear is static. I would go all 4 corners or nothing if you are really slammed.
When you are already 1 inch off the ground.... This will make you 3 inches off the ground. Still not enough to clear most things.
Lastly, screw the tank. Just run it off compressors. You don't need the tank. It'll air up in 5 seconds with just the compressor instead if 3 seconds with the tank.
Don't get me wrong. I loved mine.
Cups vs Bags
Cups pros: Reliability. Simplicity. Performance.
Cups cons: not as much adjustment, fitting to coils can be more complicated due to varying shaft thickness.
Bag pros: plenty of adjustability. Easier to install bag on coil but other install is more complicated.
Bag cons: not the best ride, wiring, more can fail.

Yes they do sir and you retain the coilover feeling
Yes sir it is. If you guys want to get in on the group buy i'll open it up to you guys as well.
Yup its possible you can get a round tank just like frankie said.
Yes sir
Should roll by and check it out!
It would be run with a fitting 3/8 to 1/4 and the compressor would just be wired to a switch i'm assuming. However it's not recommended because of the load it would put on the compressor. However if your roads are nice and don't plan to air up a lot this setup will work.
Yes Sir, Pretty much however the feeling of the car on both cups and bags is completely different.
