Felix, you could always piece it together individually and it may come up a lot cheaper. Go to bBSquad.net forums. My buddies over there are kinda the air guru's for the xB. since the suspension for the xB and the fit are near identical the set-up should be roughly the same. Lots of good info there as well on different set-ups.

MarkyMark that looks sick. Was the kit straight bolt on? Does your alignment get out of wack if you raise and lower the car a lot?

bolt on for the most part, it's a JDM kit, so there was a little drilling. As for the alignment, the front toe is set to spec, which shouldn't change.

I'm not Mark, but I'm pretty sure the only advantages of running 2 compressors are...

It will fill the tank faster.

And if one goes out you sill have the other.

Yes, 2 compressors fill the tank faster, but that really isn't an issue unless you completely drain the tank

With a 4-gal tank it will not take long to go empty.

When I lay it out and then go back up to driving height, the one compressor tops off the tank in about 2 mins.
