everything's got pro's/con's.

buying a used kit means that everything is cut to the right length, and was working at one point.

but if you've never done anything similar to an air ride system, it means that there's no company support, and all you've got is a few random forums, and youtube to help you if you get stuck

the cost will be significantly less than a new kit.

but air ride is something that tends to leak once fittings are messed with. take a sealed system all a part, ship it across the country, and re-assemble, it's likely to leak.


i would say if you're a seasoned pro with electrical and pneumatic systems, building a self-sponsored show car, the lower cost of entry is worth it despite the possible hassles.

if this is on your only car that you need up and running for work in 3 days, and it's one of the first times doing air ride, get the new kit, from a reputable source, so when/if there's problems, you've got someone to lean on.
