    i wasn't trying answering your question

    im the kind of person that likes to input everything and id rather not have a computer do my thinking. ive never even thought about what i do to level the car to be honest because its so easy and self explanatory that its second nature. if 3 people jump in the back and it lowers the rear i just add pressure evenly to the 2 rear bags (ie not 15 psi to one side and 35 to the other) just add air until youre good. even if its just one person, just add a few psi evenly and you wont have one side tucking and gap on the other. i know thats what you are worried about.

    its really super simple to use, V2 is cheaper, works just as well unless you cant extend your arm and tap a button twice to manually adjust and doesn't have pain in the ass levelers to install.

    not to say accuair isnt awesome, they are. they have a system that doesnt use the levelers, id go with that cause it still includes the fancy controller (which is admittedly nicer than the any airlift stuff) but even then, its still more expensive for essentially the same thing

    i will also add its easier to mess around "hitting switches" with Easy street

    Then I decided to buy a REAL leveling system. The V2 cannot adjust itself for added weight. The only thing it will do is drop itself lower if you had it in ride monitor mode trying to compensate for the higher pressure due to more passengers. It's just a switchbox with an LCD. I will have my install finished up on my Mk4 GTI to be more pleasing to the eye in a few days. I throw up pics of my height sensor install.

    Do yourself a favor and wait till Air Lift actually puts out proof that there system works in real world situation, or take an extra 3-4 days worth of pay and buy something that has proof of working the the E-Level. I know it might be a little tougher to install the height sensors, but if you are mechanically inclined you got it. I can't see wasting money on something that can't prove it's own worth. Sorry If I'm bitter, I just waited and waited for a real answer and it was never supplied. Just poor videos with intermissions of probably trying to fix something that broke.
    If you cant figure out how to add a few psi for extra weight then you shouldn't have air. Dont trash air lift because it doesn't have a feature you want.

    E-level is a pain in the ass to install and doesn't tell you psi in your bags(which is a deal breaker for me) but it does the thinking for you which is attractive to some. you wont be doing the installing so you probably wont care either way but those levelers are a pain in the ass to install and if you go too high you can over extend them. just one more thing to go wrong, hell i would take a V1 over any elevel any day

    if you rather have accuair then that's fine but don't talk negatively about airlift, they have proven themselves over and over again in every application possible. you are probably on airlift struts too

    I've not seen anything anywhere in regards to the V2's ability to maintain a level stance when changing the loads in the car. Can anyone who's got the system speak to this? For instance, lets say that I'm sitting at ride height, with just me in the driver's seat. Then my wife gets into the front passenger seat and her sister in rear passenger side. How does the system handle the weight change, or would I have to increase/decrease the pressure in the passenger side bags to level out again? And if one would have to manually increase/decrease the the pressure, how do you know that you're level again? Is it just a guesstimation?

    Doooo ittttt Travis! I got the V1, but haven't installed anything yet. V2 looks to be far superior

    What changes we're made? I was excited to see the product when it came out but haven't heard much about it.
