Well I've been talking about getting bags on my car for a while now and I've finally found what I consider the perfect buy. Today is pretty much judgement day when I send the payments and I just want to know if anyone can tell me if this sounds good. I asked him to send me a list of what he will include and this was his reply:
"Sure thing
4 Air struts with 4 stock strut caps so you wont have to disengage your old struts and springs to get the caps (this will save you HOURS of install time and hassle)
2 Five Gallon Tanks, one in chrome (this is the one that showed in my setup...looks great)
2 Compressors, one Viar 460c, and one 3/4 horsepower DC8500 (this is the work horse) both come with 3/8 inch braided stainless steel leader lines with built in check valves
4 Two way manifold valves (allowing for FBSS)-super easy installation, just two wires per valve, power and ground
2 Dual Pressure gauges reading up to 200 psi (front and rear bags)
1 Single Pressure gauge reading up to 200 psi for the tank (in cabin)
1 Controller (playstation style) which gives you up and down with each individual bag, pancake up, pancake down, seesaw left, seesaw right, seesaw front, and seesaw rear.
4 SMC check vavles which hooked up before the valves will keep the car at ride height just in case your tank springs a leak somewhere-car will not lower on you by accident (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)
All necessary fittings-tank fittings, valve fitting, push to connect fittings, plugs, adapters, gauge fittings (EVERYTHING)
All necessary 3/8 inch line for the tanks and bags, and all 1/8 inch line for the gauges
1 Water separator mounted onto tank to keep moisture out of the valves
1 Gauge mounted onto tanks in rear to read tank psi while looking in the trunk
1 check valve with AC compressor fitting to fill tanks with outside compressor (I installed this to plug in my shop air line to fill the tanks so I could play for hours, and so my compressors wouldnt take a beating
1 Air pressure switch set to turn on at 160 and off at 190.
All the necessary wiring for both compressors including a 100% duty cycle starter solenoid for the DC8500, and a 40amp relay for the Viar.
Extra box of spare parts i have including a pressure switch for 150 on and 180 off, extra air line, fittings, wires, digital gauges with senders (do not recommend these), and misc. other parts.
Plus I will also leave the controller all wired up (this was a big pain in the ass to wire) and give you any wiring diagrams/install diagrams I have.
I think that about sums up the parts list...at least thats all I can think of. If your buddy looks it over and sees something missing or has a question jsut let me know. But trust me, the kit has EVERYTHING, you wont need anything else. I will give you some specs on the kit to as Im sure you are wondering. Fill time for the tanks with the two compressors is only about 1 minute and 30 seconds, if you arent sure, ask your friend, but this is very very fast and very mild on the compressors, especially if you live somewhere warm. You can usually drop and raise the entire car about 2-3 times per fill up. This is the entire car, you get much more play with just dropping the ass end or one bag at a time (this looks cooler anyways). The ass end will raise up from its lowest point to ride height in less than 1 second...and the front takes about 1.5 seconds (because of motor weight)...if you wanted it faster just switch to 1/2 inch lines, but I dont recommend this as the car will most likely be jumping off the ground and this is very hard on the car. OK, well that about does it....later"
Let me know what you think. Give me an estimate on what you believe I should be paying for this too, that way I can know if I'm getting a deal. Thanks for your help LVCer's!!
