just a suggestion, maybe everyone could add their wheel diameter and width as well in their descriptions and in the OP descriptions list to help people who are considering bags how their own wheels might fit/look

Anyone mind posting a pic of how they have everything connected to there battery I finished my trunk setup, just need to connect to the battery, I was hesitant on hooking up on any of the positive hook ups, I have a 2008 e90 335i and I am running the 5 gallon tank with two viaar 444cc comps, with dual water traps and SMC check valves, and an airlift manifold. For the suspension I bought the full Air Force suspension set up. I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys and seeing more of your builds, thank you

Here you go I hope this helps you see how mine is set up.

You can hook it up directly to the battery if you want to. It was easier for me to hook mine up to my fuse block b/c it was there for my sound system.

Hi guys my name is Sammy i reside in Las Vegas I have a 06 325i and bought an air lift manual setup with universal air bag over coils, airhouse 1 for the rear to be exact. My question is to ACEE. Can you post a picture of your rear bag setup installed? Im am hesitant on how to install the bags. Do i use the upper cup that holds the stock springs for the bag bracket? and the lower bracket what does it bolt to? Thanks in advance to everyone. Oh and one more question is..is the air line supplied in the kit enough for our cars?

I'm curious about the reliability and maintenance on an air suspension set up?

I'm not to familiar with that set up. In my set up I did use the upper cup, and the lower bracket should bolt up just like stock for the most part. And yes there SUPPOSED to be enough line supplied with your kit.

So far so good. March would make 2 years that I've had it...reliability so far have been great...only issues I have had were faults of my own. Which wasn't bad 1) I put the hose to close the something hot and it melted 2) I put the hose in a spot that rubbed...and made a hole.

Thinking of bagging for low, comfort, and hopefully improved handling but I drive my car regardless of weather (my only ride) so I guess I'd be worried about the wear, tear, and maintenance

the wear and tear is normal like any other car. Check it every now and then just like you do your car. Once you get the air, it will take some time to get the ride height and comfort down, it took me over 3-4 months to get mine right. Adjust strut dampening, PSI in bags, etc...
