to be as honest as possible me and my bro installed them in 3 nites cause thats the only time we had to do it and workin with my brother it HAS to be perfect but with a suspension its gotta be but when we first did it we didnt tighted down the connections to the valves good so that leaked a lil but its been 3 months sence then and havent had a leak sence and i had to leave my car at my dads for 3 days and i had it jacked up all the way and was just goin to see if it leaked down any and it still stood just as i left it and no psi never leaks just be sure when you put the kit on if you do that all your fittings are tight and get some check valves on your compressors that makes a big difference

check valves between ur compressor and tank? also when u said connection on ur valves?...that mean ur running compression fittings? what are u using for sealent...just teflon tape, liquid teflon?


also at 180psi...wouldnt that make a civic hop on cans?

well if you get viair 380c from mic they come with a check valve in the braided line and i think there is one on the guage for the compressor and another some where else im not sure off the top of my head,it came with 4 brass street tess and they went inbetween the valves and the lines go it the pushins that screw into the tess, we used the regular teflon tape thing is dont be scared to put that stuff on it will screw on there trust me
