Right now the hot sellers are accuair e-level with air manifold valve or the autopilot v2. Before these digital air management systems you would need to get 8 valves and all kinds of fittings to plumb them and a switchbox to control them.

I used to have the 8 individual valves setup but now changed over to the digital setups.

You need valves, fittings, air lines, switchbox. I would of course recommend Accuair for their manifold valves, and if you have the money also get the e-level. I have those on my car and I love it.
