PLacement of valves....

if they are near each wheel it will drop faster right? how much faster?
and if they are all at one place, then it will lose all that air in the airline each time it lets the air out of the bag, plus the air in the bag....

i could just get a manifold setup with it all in one place....but i want most effiecent over price...

ok got my car bagged. pimp.

front/back/side/side/pancake/3wheel is pimp.
kind of hard doing 1 wheel at a time in the back tho, because of the sway bar.

i love the 10 switch box.....id recommend electric sending units with electric guages....more effiecient, less chance of leaks, less work.....

i left the bumpstop things off the rear struts....seems ok.

the front passenger area pops when it is raising...not sure why yet....

how often do i need to oil the valves? i dont have an oiler yet....

Congrats sorry I haven't been on in quite some time. I'd oil about every 3-4 weeks. It doesn't take much just a little bit to keep the valves moving nicely. You'll notice they need it more in the winter than the summer. Make sure it's a good oil and what type of oil to use for your valves. Call the manufacturer if you need more info on what type and weight. You just need enough to keep a light film on the parts. Not submerged like an engine.

As for the valve placement, being closer to the wheel is faster but more of a hassle. I'd stick with a manifold setup. For ease of installation and maintenance.

I've had my first gen. bagged for a little over a year now.. I'm running airbagit.com struts and had no prob. out of them..I have a chrome 5 gallon 9 port tank, 8 single action 1/2" valves, 1/2" air line, 200p.s.i. pressure switch, 2 viair 380 compressors, and a ten switch box.. Pulls the rear wheels.. Oh yeah and I was wondering if the escort strut mounts can be used on the first gen. as well?..Thanks and Peace!!!!!!
