Air suspension installed! New Stance!
I've been piecing together air suspension components for the last few months and I finally installed it this weekend. I'm using Universal Air Suspension bags on OEM struts with the Easy Street Autopilot digital controller. I love this setup! It actually rides nicer than my Tein CS with enough air in the bags. But I like to ride low so it's a bit bumpy.
I mounted the controller into the ashtray. It's a great fit.
The best thing about the Autopilot is that it memorizes your ride height. There's no guessing trying to find the settings you like. This helps consistent tire wear too.
The trunk setup is messy right now with wiring everywhere but I'll clean it up. It was very easy to install with straightforward instructions from Easy Street. The valve manifolds clean up a lot of the plumbing since the fill and dump valves are all in the same place.
Onto pics of the new stance! I need to make a custom piece to get the rear lower but I like how it sits right now.
Thank you to xknowonex and 4ntvings for the pics from Jay's meet.
Special thanks to ShaneC and V8 Aristo for answering my many questions about the install.

Thanks guys. 
I can use them to pump up my tires too! I'm looking for a quick connect fitting to attach an air hose to use that or air tools. You already have the compressor, go get the rest of the air setup.
And yes, I plan on attending the luau.

I think the controller itself is around $600 retail. DG on VSC is selling them a bit cheaper, maybe you can talk to her about it.
I suggest doing the trunk setup one day, and check for leaks. Do the bag install on a separate day. You'll minimize downtime this way. If teflon tape fails on you, try liquid thread sealant instead. It fixed all the leaks I had. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.
I can't go lower right now without have a custom "washer" made for the rear. There's no way to get lower in the front other than RCA's. I cut the cap on the front strut mounts to get a bit lower in the front.
