solo, pxrlex, ACleanSC4, V8_Aristo and myself are running UAS bags but we each have different cars.

I don't think V8_Aristo or pxrlex are running the UAS kit, just the bags. I have a hybrid setup with the UAS bags

^^^ seems plausiable. I would check it out as well as your bags and lines.

get some soapy water in a spray bottle and start checking your connections. when I tested my system I actually capped off each area before the valves and did a pressure test. But that is a little extreme.

it will be bouncy if you put too much air or too little air... when people see "air" they automatically think think it rides worse than stock but in fact, it rides better than stock. Look at all the luxury cars that are on air.

Yeah, im one of them lol. Because my cousin has a sc300, with some kind of air suspension, and his just bounces along the road. And you already know how ******'d up east coast roads are.

You might have more than 1 leak in your system. Each bag is suppose to be independent from each other and should hold it's own air individually. The tank should also be working independently from each of the bags, so you might have a leak there to. My advice is to inspect the whole system for leaks from compressor to tank to valves and then bags. Soapy water is good, but I found out that foaming soap dispensers work better.
