Monday, November 10, 2008 7:43 PM
Planning on geting Auto Pilot Digital system from easystreet, but not sure if to go with 1/4 or 1/2 airlines?
Wondering who has had both and what are the pros and cons of each.

My auto pilot system came with 1/2 fittings to run 1/2 line. My car raises and drops quickly. If you use 1/4 line your car is gonna raise and drop like a snail. 3/8 line would be a nice happy medium, but i believe you would have to buy all new fittings.

How hard is it to fine tune being so fast. Is their a way to slow the system down if needed to. I know it comes with a few buttons you can set your heights, just wondering if it is hard to hit a specific PSI cuz it drops or raises fast.

the 1/4 lines will allow you to fine tune your ride height more easily. if your running a bodykit 1/2 may put the car down to quick and damage the kit in certain possible parking areas you may come across. like tinkes said 3/8 is a happy medium. only gonna cost a few extra bucks at lowes/ home depo to swap fitting.

you can also put things on the valves to slow the drop.

But i would recomend you stay with the 1/2" line. then put some difusers (sp?) on the valves to slow it, and keep the noise down.

Actually the best place to get fittings and airline from is a tractor trailer garage(if you want to look locally). If your looking online then Suicidedoors.com is the place to go.


Compression fittings are uglier, but provide a better seal then the crappy push fittings.

I think i'm convinced 1/2 inch it is . After all I think it will be a lot cheaper to down grade to 1/4 if I choose to. I will probably just try to install some diffuser like John said to go down slow becuz I do have a body kit on. Does $1300 for the kit sound reasonable?

It's the complete kit minus the bags(Air-Over-Struts).
I See that easystreet has it just shy of $1700.

I had a complete system installed with 10switch box, but no gauges.
I got tired of my tires wearing uneven due to diferent stance ( not knowing what psi i was riding at, just whatever felt right)
I figured a set preset for driving will help with the alingment.
Thats why I started looking into digital systems.
