Where are you getting your GS aligned at? Tell me there is a place that does lifetime alignments....

i get my alignments done at Firestone. Our firestone has their alignment lifts built in the ground so lowered cars are good. also lifetime alignment cost around $180.

Sorry for the noob question but whats the advantage of 2 tanks instead of one? Faster response time?

dont apologize lol questions are meant to be asked. 2 tanks just help you air up multiple times. if you only have one tank and you are aired out the most you can air back up is probably twice before you have to wait for your compressors to fill up the tank again. i have my ride monitor on on my elevel so as im driving it is monitoring my ride height to match all 4 corners to my sensors. if one is not level to my adjusted settings, it will compensate (either fill or dump). so throughout my ride at times it will auto adjust pressures.

car's coming together great brother.

Sometimes I wish I had two tanks.... I hate airing up and hearing the buzzing noise upon startup.

LOL no i think its everyone with accuair... i guess the way the system is setup it will turn on. from aired out to aired up. i just air up all the way to my ride height. i dont mind having the compressors turn on since its only on for about 30 seconds maybe 40 at most.

i dont know if its just me but for some reason when im driving my tanks are getting filled up quietly. like right now i have it set to 175psi and when its like lets say around 150psi my tanks get refilled but i dont hear my compressors. its weird. ive heard my compressors kick on one time while i was driving and i could hear it but sometimes i dont hear it at all when its pumping air to my tanks at that range.

you ever come across this?

Great job on the install!

I would have went air or air cups particularly last year too, but I am really on the fence with the awd issues.

How is your awd behaving? I'm not having any issues at all with the system itself, but rather random noises especially when it's cold out.. I've replaced both my axles thinking iy was the axles with Oem ones when I found a lot of grease leaking and abnormal bearing wear, but am still experiencing the weird noise when it wobbles. It might be a worn bushing I'm assuming...

Anyways, those wheels are not bad looking for replica wheels.. Lookin forward to the vip wheels soon I'm guessing!

Happy Motoring

my awd is behaving quite well actually my wobble is barely noticeable than it was on coilovers. my left axle boot is torn on the engine side but i haven't replaced it. it tore on the coilvers though. i do for some reason have a random knock or metal knock sound like its the suspension on the front right side. it comes and goes so i dont know what it is.

i checked the left and it seems fine besides the boot. other than that no problems.

yeah im waiting on my set of wheels that i want to be available.

you may want to check your lower contral arm bushings the rubber in there may have torn. i replaced mine with poly urethane ones from figs and it greatly decreased my wobble.

I don't have gauges or anything, so I can't tell you the behavior of my tank lol....

I'm the kind of lazy person that just airs up and drives. My compressors kick on while driving after 3+ hours, but that's mainly because I have a front pass n driver side air leak. Installer ran air line through firewall without a grommet . I bought buck heads and he's suppose to help me fix it soon.
