Becareful with Chassis Tech products. They tend not to last as long as you want. I bought a compressor and some airbags for my truck and the bags were cheap and also the compressor kept on overheating.

Please for the safety and well being of youf XB stay away from Chassis Tech, it will break. Go with either the easystreet or FBI mini set up. Both are really good and will last longer then Chassis Tech

Saw the Easy Street Cavalier last year at a show, and a buddy of mine is sponsored by them... they are AWESOME. extremly high quality parts and the guys from the company I talked to last year were great to deal with.
Was fun watching them lay frame a cavalier.

Boxzilla's box is an all around FBI kit...
Ive done about 3 weeks or more of research on the fbi vs. all other kits, and hands down, price to worth ratio.
I have also seen 8 or more kits up close, and after seeing the install on boxzillas box, omg. i'd get that any day.
my advice? call 1-877-324-6464 for Fender Bender International, and ask for Phil; the resident expert on xB air.

I suggest going with FBI mini . great service , great product , great price,
And you dont have to cut your top bracket where your rear spring is! once you cut it your stuck with bags plus with FBI you can install it all under the car so those of you with custom speaker boxes in the rear as my self this is the kit for you!
Give the guys a call @ 1-877-FBI-MINI
everyone I have spoke with knows there stuff

the fbi kit is good but the double convoluted has too much lift for me , and fbi runs easystreet front setup , it is interesting to me that team pneaumatik is just re selling the easy street i wonder what they have changed / havent changed. the fbi switchbox and air management is better than easy street . Oh one last thing only a small piece of the rear spring mount needs to be cut and can be reused for stock spring use.

Another thing i've noticed is that when dealing with vendors in this line of parts... you gotta ask A LOT of questions up front, and ask that they provide things in writing before you give them your money. My friend bought some parts from a big name air vendor and they ended up just having stuff drop shipped to him from the manufacturers... but the best part is those manufacturers had never made anything for his car even though they said they did, and to make a long story short.... it was NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

lift is a good thing when you need it. its all about how low you can go
as for team pneaumatik i spoke to them and gauge (project fusion) special deal.
and both told me they where using the same items but team was higher priced then the special. and your correct that FBI has the best air mangement and the best sytem . I have looked for many months and have talked to alot of people
and FBI got my business and friendship!

Which kit is it on the FBI site that you guys are using on your Xb's? I'm really considering bagging mine. I know on trucks you can use lowering springs with the bags can you do that on the Xb's also? Thanks in advance.

you would do away with your springs.
