I've been working on this for the last few days, so here is the build log.

First off, thanks goes out to StoopidAlero(this is his old equipment) and Richie. I would not be able to do this myself if they haven't been helping out.


Equipment:
Compressors: 2x Viair 380c
Tank: chrome 5 gallon
Struts: EasyStreet front and rear air struts for the Alero
Control system: ART Ridepro digital controller along with the remote system :D
Valves: ART Big Red 4-way

All of this pretty much took days of designing because I do not have much room to work with (you will see in the pics) lol

The valve block and sending units

These are going in the spare tire well.

My main problem was fitting my amps in with all of this. So I first built my amp rack, then I build my compressor/tank rack to slip over it.

Here is the rack in the car, it will all get painted tomorrow.

Drilled the holes for the compressors and tank.

Put my spades on my connections. More pics of this will come.

Here is the wiring. When I'm done, all the distro blocks and the relays will be neatly tucked in the area they are hanging out of.

Got my amps power and speaker wire all set up in correct lengths.

And this is what it is going to look like when finished (except for paint and wire loom)
