Just installed these air struts on my car but I notice there' s a lot more lift than dump. Is there any adjustments for that? Other than that the bags drive really smooth.

The reason it doesn' t go any lower is because of tire clearances, and geometry problems. There is no way of adjusting the height.

How did the install go?

I have 18" wheels so I guess it would be hard to tuck some of them in. The struts ride like floating on air which I was impressed.

What is the maximum pressure that the bags can handle, because I don' t want to over-inflate it.

A question on the 12-position adjustment knob on the struts, for a soft ride what number should I set it too? Do you crank the knob all the way clockwise to be on 1 and all the way counter-clockwise to be on 12?

You are backwards on the clicks all the way counter clockwise is 1 which is the softest. Generally as a rule of thumb for every 10psi you will need 1 click, but you will have to use your judgement from there. Eveyone likes it a little different. As far a max psi they will handle more than what that compressor will ever put out so don' t worry about that.
