    Well, I don't see any obvious check valves, but maybe a couple of the pipe unions in the pic are them.

    Assuming it has the check valves installed and there is a pressure switch, a safety valve, and a drain installed in the appropriate locations, I don't see anything there that is a cause for concern.

    The aesthetics leave a little to be desired, but that's pretty subjective.

    not sure his fb just showed this picture, tank water traps and the compressors.

    Where's his check valves, pressure sensor, safety valve, and drain?

    function, reliability of his set up?

    Are you looking for thoughts on the aesthetics or the function of that setup?

    alright thanks, did you happen to see the last photo I posted? just wanted thoughts/opinions.

    444cs are rated for 200 psi. You're good. You can always get specifications for your gear from Viair's website or Bag Riders's.

    I have 2 444c compressors? is there a way I can see about that.

    Drop $20 on a 200 psi pressure switch, return the one you've got.

    so what do you suggest?

    One other thing to contemplate about the pressure switch situation: Your front bags are going to need a fair amount of pressure to raise the car. B16s have a pretty front-heavy weight distribution, and bag-over-strut setups need more pressure than a standard bag of equivalent exterior dimensions to lift the same load as a result of their reduced cap area.

    Based on an extremely rough calculation with data from my car (which is heavier by 650-700 lbs, but has a similar weight distribution), I'm guessing you're going to need around 140 psi to lift the car to ride height. This means that if your tank has 120 psi sitting in it, it will only have enough pressure to lift the car halfway, the compressors will kick on, and you'll have to wait 2–2.5 minutes for them to finish refilling the tank before you can lift the car the remainder of the way. That sounds pretty annoying to me.

    Alright, you can use that pressure switch, but it won't use the full capabilities of your tank or compressors. You'll get 1/3 more range out of your air supply if you switch to a 200 psi switch.
