Why would you want to tap the line? Did you want to run your own air management system?

the way its set up now is really slow ... i just tapped my factory valves and release the air to lower... then put the relay back in to raise.... its only temporary... what i want to do is get new compressor, tank, valves, and bigger lines but still use my stock bags.

The datasystem controller with stock bags are MADD slow. I am currently working on adding an aftermarket air management system to the stock air struts. The only problem I see, is with the absorber control actuator. I really dont know how this functions or effects the air strut. If it doesnt work it would mean the bags would probably become super soft, and you wouldnt have that stock ride quality. They make tons fittings and connectors, its just gonna be a matter of time before I find out what works best. Hopefully I should be done with it before the end of the year. Stay tuned for updates.
