Compressor Viair 380 <-------------------------------------i prefer two compressors, if nothing else, step up to the viair 480.. its a bit bigger, and faster fill time...

you still need fittings, but that is something you have to look at the catalog, and start sketching out on paper....

bigger the valve, the faster it is... again, somethign you kinda have to play with. i never liked slamming to the ground and eventually breaking something, but liked popping up scaring people lol.. i like 1/2" ups 3/8" downs

i was trying to post pictures of my setup on the s10, but photobucket is being gay...

You probably want to go with 8 valves. I know you said you just want front and back but you also said you want a performance suspension as well. With four valves you are going to get air transfer from side to side or front to back depending on how it is set up. With 8 valves there will be no air transfer and you will have the ability to adjust each corner individually. Plus it will stiffen up the suspension b/c there will be no transfer of air.
