With air suspension there is alot of components that come into play and failure in any one of them can leave you stranded or even worse damage your car or other items inside the suspension.
Of course the cheaper price is always more appealing but the question is do you want to pay a little more initially or more down the road when your stranded or even worse ripped the fenders off of your car, ruin your tires/wheels etc.
For our wholesale program we do carry the "cheaper" kits, but thats what they are... cheaper. But, for our retail program we always suggest the best compoents for as trouble free as possible!
a few reasons why we use the components that we do:
Compressors - best ones that viair makes. We run 2 of them for twice as fast of fill = half the ware-and-tare on the pumps. but also it gives you a fail-safe backup if one for some reason stopped working you would not be left stranded.
Stainless Steel Tank - Looks great, but the main reason is so there is no rust in the air system
DOT Approved Lines/Fittings - Prevents air leaks
ODE Valves - Italian made water/oil proof valves. 10,000,000 cycle rated.
We are the only company that would ever offer a 3 year 36k mile warranty on the system (minus compressors... 1 year on those).
Basically what it comes down to is that we have put alot of time and effort into making air systems reliable and with a 20,000-40,000 car you can't put something in there that you know will lead to problems down the road... Well, at least we can't.... I don't know about you guys... but i like to be able to jump in my car and drive it
