ok so after searching around n reading a lot... got my future setup down to...

http://shop.airliftcompany.cust.shop...ir_suspensions

and 2 of these..

http://shop.airliftcompany.cust.shop...Manifold_Valve

+

2 water traps.. dunno which fits on the 380c Viaair.. but i heard the one with a 1/4th fitting one does?? someone confirm please :]

+

whatever fittings needed. and still debating if i should go 3/8th or stay with 1/4th.

any additional suggestions is appreciated. also whats the most cost effective place to order these parts? ive searched placed n notice that amazon has the nicest deal so far.

 

These are pretty good airride suppliers:

www.avsontheweb.com
www.suicidedoors.com
www.gravity-werx.com

 

all their prices are msrp :/

btw i gotta find out what size fitting my bag has on it.. ill see if i can take a pic of it using a dial caliper to find the size.. Rideslow said its a 1/8th fitting but ide like to confirm with all yall first hehe. Thanks

 

guage is the cheapest by far. they also offer easy street's fittings for a lot less than easy street. its all drop shipped from easy street as well.

awesome!

i still dont know whats needed to finish off the manifold? meaning what size fittings i need that are built in the manifold.. is it 3/8th?

also does it come with slow downs? hah kinda dislike how easy street doesnt list the specs

 

3/8" male thread for the fills, tube size is whatever you want to use.
1/4" male thread for the dumps

what do you mean by "slow downs"? adjustable fittings?

 

yes adjustable fittings.. does the manifold have built in threads for that or do i have to run T's?

 

is it necessary to use that brand for the valve manifold? I would suggest getting one that can distribute to all 4 corners unless you are going to put one manifold up front and leave one in the trunk.

i can point you in the right direction for the accuair manifold which seems to be a favorite of people around here, they also have a full plug and play kit for autoleveling and stuff like that.

and the ksport bag/strut is definitely 1/8 fittings.

the 380's are definitely 1/4 fittings, the ksport tank is 1/4 fittings.

let me know if you need anything else, i just redid mine so everything is fresh.

 

here is the fitting that goes in my ksport bag...now what size are they?

dial caliper says .362"

1/4th or 1/8th??

Thanks!

 

awesome info! i was thinking about accuair but the price for the whole setup is quite expensive :/ plus i gotta get a digi gauge on top of that lol but who knows maybe i might change my mind. how fast are those accuair manifolds on 3/8th lines anyways?

 

compare it to the 1/4" npt fitting on the 380c

no more questioning the 1/8 size......

shoot me a PM on the other part!

 

oh yea forgot to mention. since its the same brand as the controller n all.. its all plug n play vs Cut n solder (which aint hard but pnp is convenient)

we'll see where i go with this.


Edit added:

Also is there a difference between different brand fittings like UAS vs Easystreet?
UAS looks like its brass and easystreet is nickle plated?

 

It's just different material but it's the same PTC fitting company, Alkon. I prefer brass since all my nipples, street T's, cross, valves, are all brass.

 

brass is too soft IMO. i like nickel plated.

definitely go with the easy street manifolds with their digital kit. it will make your life sooo easy.

 

Kohinoor: you positive the dumps are 1/4th fittings on the easystreet mani? i read in the VWvortex forum that they are 1/8th. can someone confirm?
