    Suspensions bind on pavement, that's why the video he did was on the alignment rack that allows for play in it. So on his suggestion:

    After you hit a preset button and it gets to height, start rolling down the street and hit it again. This will allow the suspension to "fine tune" and settle to the pressures you specified. Trust me i did it and it works!!
    Example:
    my preset one is 75psi front and 55psi rear
    when i hit it in my driveway it went to 73, 76 and 58, 54; so started rolling and hit it again. sure enough went to 75, 75 and 55, 55

    Hope this helps!!
    I've noticed that doing this on the v1 seems to help the system fine tune also...but it still isn't the most accurate.

    Any pics of the controller illuminated at night? It seems like that it leaks light around all of the buttons...wondering if it's really that bad or if it's a bad camera angle in those first few pics.

    Wow the V2 sounds awesome. I'm going to see if I can get my buddy to upgrade his so I can install one. I'm on e-level now and am completely happy where I'm at.

    It's a really nice setup, plus its insanely easy to install with the brain and ECU as one unit. Nearly everything is pre-wired too.

    That's fine, switchspeed is boring for that price . for the money you get switchspeed you can can get the new V2.

    already have switchspeed installed, but would be cool to upgrade to a controller with presets. i could upgrade to e-level, but don't know anyone around here who installs e-level.

    I got mine like last week and it's just sitting in my room, taunting me. I need to get this installed! Bagriders was awesome to deal with and was wicked helpful answering all of my questions. Also, free sunglasses

    Would it be retarded of me to get these installed right when winter is starting to kick in?

    i guess my only question with e-level as opposed to some pressure based system like autopilot, if i have my ride height set to something like 65psi fronts/35psi rears in order to have my tires clear fenders for sharp turns, if there are no gauges - how do i know what height i'm at if I want to lower it while driving on a parkway or straight-a-ways?

    Usually people will set their preset 1 to be the lowest rolling height possible but if you wanted to use your controller manually, it would be best to add on some gauges.

    I got my switch speed 3 weeks ago but this kit also looks awesome, I have all my electrical ran and somebody already stole my switch speed controller I think maybe at first glance they thought it was an ipod or something at least this control isnt detachable.
