My compressor's getting (to me) kinda loud. My air suspension seems to be holding up pretty good and operates as it should. My main issue is when I'm doing some running around town, every time I stop, the car vents down, then has to be pumped back up. Not sure why it does that, maybe ease of entry for getting back into the car? Does it help preserve the bags by not having pressure in them? Right now I don't have the funds or inclination to replace the compressor at this point. Need that fun money for tires/ABS fixes. I'm thinking that a simle solution would be instaling an in-cabin switch to bypass the switch in the trunk so I can control the air ride without having to access it from the trunk. Then I can turn it off until I get to longer stretches of driving and actually want the car to be able to vent down. I'm thinking the switch should be cheap (from a member with a spring conversion) and easily mounted in the cabin under the steering wheel. Wiring/routing from the trunk should be simple. One question is what would be the down side of driving with the air ride turned off? I'm not interested in "slamming the car", but if I do drive it with the air suspension turned off, whats the difference of driving if I turn the suspension off before it vents or after? Obviously, I'm not real knowledgable about how the air suspension actually functions(and many other things). Is this a stupid idea?
