The AccuAir guys are local in my town here, and after researching every other product out there and speaking with them....there is no question that i'll be going with the e-Level System. Most other products can barely even compare, and the ones that do seem to have WAY too many issues.

When do you plan on getting started on yours? And wasn't there someone else with a b5 that was planing on an air system? I'll have to talk to the guys at accuair and get some specs/pricing for us.

I don't want accuair. it'd be very nice but I don't want to spend that much money. what about the airlift auto pilot controller? airlift's been around for over 60 years now and that controller seems pretty popular and almost half the price as the e level system (~$600 new vs ~$1100)
aren't accuair's products universal? do they have vehicle specific anything?
do you have anything else planned besides the controller?
my goal was to lay frame before summer ended, but I highly doubt that will happen I do plan on starting to purchase parts soon though. as of right now, I'm still trying to go with a basic and cheap air over setup consisting of (shortened) bilstein front struts with uvair aero sports, custom airlift easystreet airover shocks for the back, dual viair 400 (would go with a single 380 but I'm getting a good deal), 5 gallon tank, 3/8" line, manual paddle valves with gauges and the other necessary fittings/hardware. this should (hopefully) run me about $1600-1800 total..
