What kind of set up? Check valve and water trap would be nice.

Just make sure you run all your lines/hoses, wiring, tank, compressor, etc. first. Install the air bags last, in case you don't finish you won't have to down your car.

Make sure all your fittings and valves and assembled as well, and most importantly wrap the Teflon at least 4-5times, or you'll end up like me and you have to go back and redo whatever is leaking. As of now I only have the passenger side bags leaking.

And when you're all said and done:
DROP IT LIKE ITS HAWT!!!!

Use proper pro teflon tape harder to find but it is pink.
Test fit and pressurize the system over night before shock install to check for leaks .
Make sure you have a metal water trap or you are asking for trouble.

very keen to see how this K Sport stuff goes. as far as i know theres no dealer for UAS or Airrunner or anything in Australia, but K Sport is quite easy to get hold of so it might be an option for me if its the goods
