Got this off the internet. The tank is only a 3 gallon. You get one good lift from full drop, then the compressor kicks on. Really quite though.

It is nice that it is a contained unit.
Where does it vent? Water separater? Are you using below bags or sleeves in the rear?

My previous car:
350 whp, bagged GTI. The car is sitting on the ground, with 19s.

Sweet! Glad they could hook you up. The BC's are tempting. I'll message you. I met up with JbsMaxine at one of the VQINC meets. We really should try to get the 7th gens together sometime, man!

Unit has a fan on each side for air flow. Below bags in rear, tank drains from the red valve in front.

wow looking good man. Can you give me your opinion on the ride compared to coilovers? Do you recommend this for daily driving? Lastly, how much does everything cost (know you got a discount but wondering if you know the actual price) and how long it took? Thanks

Air ride is significantly softer riding that coils. You actually firm up the ride by raising it up.

Instal isn't that bad either.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I had eibachs , bc coilovers and now airrex. I would say ride is a little stiffer than eibachs smoother than the bc's. we just installed it last night. So still messing around ridding at different pressure heights. Install took less than 5 hours.

DTP: In regards driving over a dip and potholes, is it better or worst compared to coils? BTW DTP your screen name... what is that? Down to pipe?

You don't feel it as much depending on what pressure you ridding at. I would say its a way better ride than coils and still has the handling like coils. My screen name are just my initials. Haha!!couldn't think of a cool one.
