Hey guys and gals! Just trying to get a feel for the Easy Street kit. leave your comments good our bad. Thanks.
I have easystreet rear bags for sale!
Thanks for the link, I asked the question for more up to date information as I am the warranty supervisor for airlift. I guess I should have stated that in the first post. I am curious of overall opinion of our kit and control system/s. I have the kit on my 04 j-body so i am not on here as a non j-body owner, any feedback and suggestions would be great.
i love my kit! had it 2 years. my one suggestion would be to provide the relay w/ directions for the compressor(s). that was the toughest part for me.

i would say its the most popular air ride kit for us. i had one for about 3 years and loved it. there are a few small flaws but nothing is ever perfect with aftermarket items. jim bigford was very helpful whenever i needed something. the customer service is great. the kit will well priced compared to say for example air ride tech. they have a good kit but imo its way over priced.

+1
i had a few missing items when i received my kit, and Jim sent them overnight at no cost to me. then i realised i was missing a few more fittings after the first time he sent parts, and he sent another shipment overnight again at no cost to me. couldnt ask for any better service!!
Keep the comments coming!
Airlift has dedicated a lot of resources to the development of the easy street program. We are currently working on a new upper mount that will quiet the struts down quite a bit as well as a few really awesome new control systems. I’ll keep you posted with as much info that I can.
I am also leading a big push for ecu/transducer extension harnesses to aid in the installation of the autopilot system.
How many of you are using 2 or more compressors with the auto pilot systems?
2 compressors, but using the good ole 10 switch box
and if you ever need someone to test products.........im up to be a guinea pig
lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seems like everyone wants to be the guinea. airlift from time to time sends product out for field eval. I will keep you in mind if any thing comes up.
dont listen to that joey kid, im the one u want testing new product lol. ive had the kit on for a year and its been pretty good to me, havnt really had any problems other then leaks wich is more an installation problem then the kit itself. my only complaint was just with the 1/2" lines its faster then i'd like it to be. i prety much just use mine for shows so a few valves in line should fix that problem as well. the directions were pretty good but might help to further explain a few things just to make things a bit clearer for people that arnt positive about the install. granted i think your sheet explains that its more for a shop manual the instructions for the average job but i'd be a good portion of the installs are done by the end user so i think it help if you made some instructions for the end user. as an example. instructions say wire black to ground and red to your power side for the valves, well my valves had both black wires. ive seen you guys out at several shows this year and its really nice to support the scene like that. as far as the autopilot goes i havnt used it myself but i have heard some bad comments on it that has made me question purchasing it, ive heard about issues with it dumping the air out for no reason. now i cant personally verify weather its user error or mechanical error but the rumor is going around and it might be worth checking into. i know a few guys on this site have had that issue but im not sure who exactly. the autopilot is something that i'd consider using but with 19x8 rims on if i was going down the highway and the system dumps on me im royally screwed.
and just to show off a bit

Hey Lupe, welcome to the forums.
Jeremy has taken great care of me here lately, I'm in the process of installing the kit on my Z shown in my sig. With quite a few upgrades. I'm also located here in SW Michigan and have spoke with him regarding pics of my car next season for possible website use.
If you guys would like to sponsor me a 2 3/8" manifold blocks I'd love you dearly. Running an aluminum tank sprayed body color with an AZ comp and I'm really hesistant to run my valves off the tank, as I'm trying to keep things clean and subtle.
Serious about the manifold valves
.
I like the kit. Great for starters.
But for people that are wanting to go low. we generally have to ditch to rear easystreet struts.
I'm in the process of building a rear bag setup. Similar to some other people's here on the site. My cavalier Lays completely out on 18" wheels and 35 series tires. Tucks 3" of wheel. Easystreet kit, i wasn't tucking anything but tire.
cavy:bagged easystreet front, bags to be in in back soon, tubd, 18s.
celica gt-s:6speed, AEM Cold air, hi flow cat, muffler deletion, NGK plugs, Carbon fiber headliner, B&M shift kit, sportline 2.2" drop, factory rear disk brakes
1/4: 14.5sec. top speed: 145mph
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I can't do much about sponsorships our product demos, but I will keep a look out for any opportunities and let you all know.
Yes, it's my REAL car. No, it is NOT photoshopped or "this is how my car will look someday". It's the REAL DEAL.
