With all due respect, air lines are not a wear item that need to be replaced a lot. All semis run air for their suspension and brakes and while yes, the uv from the sun will eventually cook the lines and turn them brittle that's about every 15-20yrs. If your lines are ran out of the sunlight and away from major heat they will last even longer. The only real solution would be hard lines but those will attract moisture more than dot plastic. With all that said, I do enjoy your channel and it's a great source of info.

Kudos to you for being able to trouble shoot and have the desire to maintain the bag system on your car. The issues you corrected are why I prefer Keep It Simple Stupid KISS approach. Don’t ever want to get “saggy butt syndrome” lol. Once you put in superior struts and shocks, Bilstein brand for me, and quality lowering swings, Eibach for me, or you go with a quality coil over set up you are done and done. In addition to price my rationale is if STI engineers put Bilstein with lowering springs on the exclusive S209 and Bilstein on the somewhat exclusive RA and all automotive reviews rave about the improvement in ride and handling that was all I needed to know.

I agree, only reason I really went on air was because of my driveway being so steep 🙃 i need to get the driveway fixed and I can swap over to coilovers if I wanted to 👀 but it's a decent amount of maintenance to keep it going

@smeedia protip for you, when you cut the air line take a bit of sand paper and chamfer the edge going into the air fitting, doing that has saved my ass countless hours working on semi truck air systems and i would imagine that automotive is quite similar

Love the channel bro, new to the Subi scene myself and I've learned so much from your videos. Great work also just bagged my 19 STI recently... I found putting a higher rated fuse worked for me when running 2 compressors. Hope you get it worked out.
@Smeedia
4 жыл бұрын
Glad the videos are helping! And appreciate the support. Putting a higher rated fuse in the harness can cause larger issues such as fire or shorting other wires. The amperage being pulled to the compressors is already too much for the fuse, the harness starts to get really hot. Going to try and re grounding them all again 😫

I would still reccomend them but you've got to stay ontop of the maintenance aspect. I changed my airlines because they started to leak. Naturally they will move a little and can wear through the lines over time. I suggest changing them every 12-18 months to prevent any potential issues

@@Smeedia A lot of us have been running the same lines for ten + years without any leaks. If you take the time to do it right, one set will last the lifetime of the vehicle. If you ask someone who maintains a city bus, a fleet of ambulances, a fleet of dump trucks, you'll find they run the same exact DOT lines that we tuners use, and again, they are lasting ten to fifteen years in these instances.
