The video is cool. This seems like a great solution to lowering the car for performance, but then being able to raise it for bad roads, speed bumps, etc.

So, can you raise and lower the front and rear separately, so you can make it bounce like a lowrider while sitting at stop lights?

It actually is a great solution when you feel like riding low and not scraping your bumper while going up driveways, and other small obstacles. I have four switches to control each wheel so I can utitilize which wheel I want to go up and down. Lol sorry man, the car cannot bounce!

Nice set up!

I have alot of experience with bagged vehicles, mostly trucks, and I'm almost certain if one would want to go the air cylinder route it would be atleast half that, if not 1/3. Give me a min and I'll look it up.

Prices w/o shipping costs:
50ft of 3/8" DOT Reinforced Air Line...$20
Viair 325 150 PSI...$155
3/8" SMC Valve 8 Pack...$235
Pancake Air Tank...$100
SMC 3/8" Check Valve with Fittings...$25
SMC Inline Compressor Oiler 3/8" (optional)...$30
110/145 PSI Non-Adj Press. Switch...$18
Airlift Easystreet 200 PSI Single Needle X4 and 50ft 1/4" Airline for gauges (optional)...$90
Black Smoke 10-Switch Box...$30
SMC Water Trap 3/8" (optional)...$30
Didn't feel like adding up the cost of every fitting required but I'm sure $100 is overgenerous

Comes out to about $850 w/o cylinders which I have no clue on pricing but it is well under $500 a piece, lol.

This is just to let everyone know what they'll need since there are only so many made. I dunno, seems like a pointless post now that I've gone through the trouble, lol.
