Would the set up I have now on an uncompleted car that has 3/8" valves and 3/8" lines be too fast for the ride Pro to control? I know the setup from AirRide is 1/4" . I am after ride quality, and ride hight control, more than fast up or down. If I should convert to the smaller valves and/or lines, let me know. The car is 4000lbs. I need to get the Ride Pro ordered, so I can get this mess plumbed and running so I can take the body off once more.

Thanks
Doug

It' s a nice emergency fast but not too hoppy fast I guess you could say. For that weight of car it would be a nice rise time, fast, but not crazy fast. If adjustability is your concern then you could simply reduce the exhaust port exit size to 1/4 or 1/8" in size by drilling out a 3/8" plug that is inserted into the exhaust port. Always start small and drill big to see how you like it starting with 1/8" . So if you do overshoot your ride height you can slowly trim it back down with the slower exhaust release but you always have the availability for a fast ride when clearing parking lot entrances and driveways/speedbump hazards at the push of a button without slowing down traffic. Save money using this setup first, then if really really necessary after downsize, always test first though!
