yeah you can def run it inside but i find it much easier to run it outside. the inside has many turns and bends were the air line will have a hard time going around. the air lines can only be bent to a certain degree before it kinks.
our cars have two parallel channels running along the frame of the car to house the brake and fuel lines front to back. it is a perfect place to run the air lines. i simply secured it to the channel using zip ties.
i changed my transmission mount this weekend and took some pics of the front suspension and air line routing while i was under the car. i know there are more and more folks interested in running air suspension so this is just a supplement to what i already have.
front passenger side showing air line fitting and hose which i wrapped in wire loom for protection.

into the wire channel that runs the length of the car, there is a similar channel on the driver's side too, simply use a flathead screwdriver to push the air line into the channel.

Nice pics I wish the bolts on catalytic converter looked so clean lol.
cali car = less corrosion than average ! it's probably still a pain to remove.

why are your BC's so clean? looks like they just came out of the box!
i'm simply using the standard 1/4" DOT air line then i added wire loom for some protection but not the entire length. i see lots of people (mainly VW guys) use stainless wrapped leader lines to the bags. i don't think it is really that necessary. it's more of a nice-to-have like hardlines.

I was just more amazed at how clean they were... I didn't expect any rust/corrosion... Just expected more dirt and road grime... My BC's were dirtier than that after 1 month of summer driving!

oh haha, well it helps that my LS isn't my daily driver so i barely put miles on her. i just looked at the last time i did an oil change, it was in august 2013 and only 2000 miles ago! i should really drive her more.
