Default Aftermarket air suspension installed

Just thought I'd share some pics of my air setup I installed over the weekend.

Air management: Ridetech
Air struts: Airtekk (double bellow front and rear). Made specific for UCF30. NOT a generic bag on coilover setup.

1/4" DOT Type A soft lines. Electronic management. 8-valve, FBSS setup.

picture is parked height. Im going to go lower in the back, just need to adjust the LCA for more camber first. Right now my wheel would hit the quarter panel if I went lower. I can post pics of ride height and max lift if anyone is really interested.

Specs at ride height:

FRONT: 90 PSI, shocks set to 10 clicks (out of max stiffness at 36)
REAR: 75 PSI, shocks set to 7 clicks (out of max stiffness at 36)


I like it nice and smooth, rides just slightly stiffer than stock! no bounciness at all

I can also control the air from outside the car thru my phone. Connects to the air management computer via bluetooth. Here is a pic of what the display looks like on the phone in landscape and portrait modes
