But the real decision maker was jopecasa's broken axle ordeal. The system is really nice when it functions, but the second it goes bad, the car is undrivable. Or worse, it destroys other parts. Wife said she was tired of me tinkering with the SLS. LoL, decision made.







FCP. $995 with lifetime warranty was irresistible. They only have the 12k rear kit though and not the softer 8k kit. Hopefully the 12k spring rate won't be bouncy. Fortunately bc racing na sells the springs individually so can change later if I feel the need.

Mine failed 4 years ago and was due to me effing around with the ride height via INPA and ISTA.

I got it to settle and enjoyed the lowered ride height...then two days later while driving...it deflated the fronts only and heard loud bang.

Both CV axles are bent .....very costly....Had to buy EHC2 module not cheap and Front CV axles.

Coded new with ISTA-P and left it alone since then.

So be careful...

From what I gather. The front bags deflated while at speed and dropped the truck onto the tires. I guess the axles were the first thing to give. :dunno:

That's just a guess though. Would have to try and find his post on the event. He just reminded me of it in my air suspension thread.



Coilovers get here tomorrow. Will weigh all the air stuff after it's out of the truck to see if I lose anything over all. Going to pull everything but the wiring.

I know I will gain some storage and am reconsidering where to put my amp rack now that the compressor turtle will be out of the way.



Here's his post in the thread:

Relative ease? No. That think literally kicked my ass putting the ball joint and integral link back on.

It doesn't move out of the way enough for the spring to be removed.
