Question Stock air bag modifications

has any one ever try to modify the stock air bags to lower and lift using after market tank,compressor,solinoids??? Or modify the bag to take a bigger line. Or does any one even know or have a diagram of what the inside of one looks like. I have a 94 ls with air suspension . When i bought the car it was laying low and the air suspension didnt work. After diagnosing i found that a level sensor is the culprit. I didnt feel like buying a new or used one so instead i did a little rig up. I hooked up the rear two bags together using a compression t and led them into a strator valve. And same in the front. The bags hold air over about 70 pounds which is pretty jacked up but under 70 pds it seems to loos the air??? I dont understand and if i figure this out i feel i have an easy fix and or modification. Any ideas.. And i dont wanna hear to switch to coil overs its lame and i want some inovative ideas!!even though it is what im going to end up doing after all. I just want some good ideas i know there are some good engineers in here!!! Thank you all

the factory bags wont last if you try to make them ride low, they will blow out/start leaking.

there was maybe one member before who discussed it though i forget if he ever reported back or not, the fittings are a proprietary size so you'd have to do all new fittings at all 4 shocks. too much work in my opinion to ride at stock height.
