    I don't Facebook, so I can't dig into it too very far, but I will say the management system they're showing is not something I would run. To save money on valves, they're tying the left and right corners together, which is not safe. To prevent cross-flow when cornering (which can cause wild changes in effective spring rate and ride height), each corner needs its own individual valve.

    You could, however, use the bags they offer with a different management system.

      And can you buy management systems alone?

        Yep, you can buy whatever management system you like by itself. I'm an e-Level fan myself, but you should consider your own expectations and budget to find the system that meets your needs best.

          You guys probably have a diferent market, but from my researches I dont think in Portugal I can find air with that type of quality, and worse, someone with enough skills to set it up. Maybe a solid choice of some good coilovers will be the best for now.
          Im only in doubt because i dont really like to spend money twice, so I was ready to go air already, but well...maybe its also good for me to learn more about these setups while running static, and then...we'll see.
          After all, so much more to do on this old fella
          Sam ( to make it shorter ) thanks a lot for the valuable inputs, it has been really helpfull!

            You might look and see whether Bag Riders will ship internationally. They've got all the management systems you could ever want. Also, there's nothing at all wrong with a simple manual management system, and I'm sure that you can get the valves and such for that locally without too much trouble.

            Don't let my warnings about additional complexity scare you off. An air install is doable by yourself if that's the direction you want to go. Afterall, I built my setup by myself in an damn alleyway
