Sounds like a really sweet set-up. I'd go with a couple of Viair 480s or a York for the comps.

You might wanna see about only running the 5/8" line to the front (since it's heavier), tho. bigger lines will add more volume to fill, even if it is a slight amount.

Good luck!

I'd say $1,500-$2,000 for the parts. If you're not doing any major mods (like frame notching), then it shouldn't be but around $500 to install it.

here is my 2 cents

one 12 gallon tank, 2 would be over kill. unless you had the means of filling them in good time, like twin oasis compressors, but after that you would have no more room.
12 gallons of air, in my eyes is only for the engine drive compressors. who really wants 4 electic compressors running? but then the engine drive might be a lil hard to pull off on the cadillac.

i think, spend the cash for a oasis. single 12 gallon tank. 0-400 esi pressure switch (adjustable) 8 1/2 valve ( i like parker and smc, there are other good brands besides this, but its what i trust)
5/8 smc lines to the front and 1/2 to the rear. 2600 bags all around. i would use slam HS7 for this car.
im fond of dakota digital gauges because it keep things clean to monitor your pressures.
push to lock brass fittings.
love the coupe by the way.


my old ride at 230psi with single 5/8, tank mounted valves. second bounce.

sounds good but like mark said one 12 gallon, i would say if you can put a york on then do it if not, if you got the moey go with an oasis or two, and theres a topic somewhere in the bag section that list a whole bunch of links to places you can buy your stuff at

how much are those oassis compressor ??
call suicidedoor.com. he has a good price but you need to call
there are also two diffrent ones a 1000 and 2000. they are the same but the 2000 has heat disapating vents and the what not, its more duty rating and produces 200psi as where the 1000 is 175

they end up costing more that the price tag on them says because you need extra batteris, 2 for the most in out put. they can be ran at 12 or 24 volts.
you need to make a oil screening set up, so the out put line from the compressor i liked to have some leader line, then a coalescing trap then a 2 gallon tank, where the line went in the side and out the top, then another trap then the main tank.
