    electric, the system will always loose some air and you can control it from inside. have 2 cars with bags.

    so your saying go with electric, and what do you think of accuair manifolds?
     
  4. I bagged my `64 Riv , 5 electric switches hidden in the consul.One each for the front shockwaves one for both rear and one for dump. The fifth switch is to shut off the compressor so I don`t draw so much on start up.Fire up the Riv, switch on the compressor. I also have a set of 3" drop springs for sale.PM me if you are interested.

    Electric for sure! I have an accuair valve block on my Chevy and I had one in an OT car and I can't fault it.

    I have to agree! Electric valves are the way to go. All you have to run inside the car is wires. With manual valves you have to run air line into the car and they are quite noisy inside. Accuair is one helluva good product, plan on putting it on my 72 I'm currently building. I think on suicide doors website they have diagrams on different valve setups if you need an idea on how to run an independent style valve setup instead of a manifold. Just giving you options. With a manifold setup less fittings are involved, just an FYI.
