Hey guys, I was looking in to installing air susp on my 2IS, is there a good resource page that lists all the pros and cons? I've searched on this for some time now and read various threads but nothing really complete.
-Is there a prefered kit for 2IS
-What are some important do's and don'ts
-What's the avg expected install time for a DIY project
-Are there any safety issues
-stuck in pancake mode
-sudden loss of air
-what to do if bags blow
-Are replacement or maint parts easy to come by or is everything special order
These are just a few ?'s I had. I would like to do this but I want to make sure it's done right the first time without damaging anything. I plan to use my 2IS as a DD (no track useage).

-Is there a prefered kit for 2IS - No it's all personal preference
-What are some important do's and don'ts - only thing I can think of is don't jack up the car while air is in the bags
-What's the avg expected install time for a DIY project - I would say a day if you know what you're doing
-Are there any safety issues - It's all installation, so take your time
-stuck in pancake mode - bad installation
-sudden loss of air - bad installation
-what to do if bags blow - bad installation, but if it happens then that corner sits on the floor and drags if you're not home
-Are replacement or maint parts easy to come by or is everything special order - most parts you can get from online

So that applies with bags, as well as cups? Hmm... Good to know man. I've been thinking about going air, too...
Oh yeah, btw here is a useful thread from the VIP section of CL:

For me, it helped clarify some things.
