air susp. controller...what are you running?
I just finished installing air on my car and was wondering what you guys use. It was a piece together kit with all the good components but no good controller. I just have 2 switched up/down front/rear which is fine with me but i don't want to mount them anywhere on the dash so i just have them in the center console loose...hate having the glove box open all the time and also not feeling the look...what do you guys suggest?
I'm currently using the Dakota Digital controller and it works great. I'm thinking about going with the Air Force OLED wireless remote. I would definitely pick this over the Accuair as not only it has full control but shows pressure on all four corners and tank it also had 3 presets which is nice. There's also some other neat options you can set like when you turn on the ignition it will automatically pump up to what ever preset you want and some other ones I cant remember LOL

thanks guys i saw the accuair one and its seems pretty nice also, never saw this dakota digital unit. I have one complaint about the air so far though, my ride height seems to be perfect at 114-116F/66-68R now when its fully deflated and i go pump it up to those specs it dosent seem to pick up the car as high...therefor i get it up to like 120 or so in the front back out of the space and lower it back down to 116 and it seems ok, then when i start driving after a few minutes the pressure goes up slightly and i lower it back down to 116. It takes a few adjustments like that and then its fine. The only thing i can think of is the air gets hotter in the bags and expands after driving?
If you do dakota digital or accuair, don't worry about the pressure readings. Do the height sensors instead so you know your ride height will stay consistent.
Pressure alone is not consistent because it differs if you go from down to up, up to down, and temperature.

was talking air susp. pro today in my area he said accuair is def the way to go, he also said the reason why its different when you go up from all the way down and down from all the way up is because of susp. bind and its not designed to angle like that when its down. So when you pick it back up pass its mid point and bring it back down its good. This guy does some crazy fab work too.

Im going with Accuair. Local shop that does a lot of Airrunner setups said its the way to go. So I know when the time comes Im going with Accuair. The E-Level has 3 presets and can raise back to height when the vehicle is started.
However, sometimes it has a mind of it's own.
Example: My car was at idle and we were doing a roll-in for a wek-fest show , and half my car was on a rail-road track and the other half was not.
It seemed like the E-level was confused, it was trying to compensate for the uneven pavement, as the car was trying to level out but was unable to. So, the ecu was trippin a lil'. haha.. We did'nt care, it was kinda funny.
