Re: accurair

If you want the elevel with the ride height sensors you can buy it for about 1500 and use your tank and compressors.

Re: accurair

Man if you could get the e-level system that would elimate any ride height worries. 1 2 3 and your at the exact level stance you program in. That's gonna be my goal when I get there.

Re: accurair

I'm not sure if you can use your valves or have to use theirs.I would email Accuair and ask about that before buying it.

Re: accurair

Just keep in mind that the Accuair valve block is 500$ by itself!

Re: accurair

Yep, in the Accuair install manuals (available free on their website) it explains the wiring harness for if you use other electric valves, and all you would need is the kit above.

Re: accurair

You can use the E-level with ODE valves, but if other valves besides the VU4, it would wear the solenoid over time. This is because the e-lvel will pulsate the valve to adjust to the right heigh accurately. By the time you buy all the fittings and the valves, you are about $100 or so away from the price of the VU4. The VU4 is a nice, clean setup and plug and play to the e-level. I suggest this route if in the budget.

Re: accurair

Yeah the VU4 is definately awesome! Mount it, plug in 5 airlines and a harness, and you're done!

Re: accurair

If you haven't started the plumbing yet, I would definitely consider going with the entire accuair block and e-level system and selling the valves you currently have. Considering the time and headaches it took to plumb and track down leaks in my 8 valve set up, I don't think I'd do anything else the next time around.

Re: accurair

If your already using the valves i would keep them and add the e level.Once you wear the valves out replace them with the manifold.Or if they are a good name valve rebuild them and sell them to get a little bit back.

Re: accuair

i guess the right choice would be to get everything new.
but i want to use the money on other projects so im just going to start buy buying.
just the speed switch controller and go from there. Ive been running my setup since 2006 with no problems ill just slowly wait and maybe i get a great deal down the road
