sorry if this is a repost, or a common question... but, im doing my own air setup on my accord... im gona be using a 5 gal. tank with 3/8 valves and probably 1/2 lines (fbss)... i just dont know which viair compressor to get.. the 450, 450c, 380.. 480? i just dont know.. any inmput would be welcomed! thanks again...
Would you be wanting to run your system to 150 psi, or 200 psi? That would be a main difference in deciding between compressors such as the 450 and 380.

opps... yeah, i was kinda looking at just running 150 or so, but with mysetup i might need more... like around 175-200... and who knows, i might always want to upgrade later anyhow... so i would say more then 150...
Have you looked at the specs on the new Air Zeniths? They cost a little more.. but so far everyones said they work great. About the same as 2 450s, possibly even more.. and rated for 200 PSI. One of these alone would be great for 175psi or so with a 6 gallon tank. If your price range is a little lower, I'd personally go with a Viair 380 just so you could run up to the 200psi if needed.
i just bought the oasis 1000 if u are gonna end up buyin two compressors spend a few extra and buy the oasis its alot faster than any of them less run time and u can runn up to 200psi i bought mine shipped for 730

I have a Civic on 1/2" Lines and Valves and I am running 2 Viair 450 compressors on a 210-300 pressure switch and that is perfect for me. Anythimg more than this seems like it would be overkill. Mine fill up really quick. Forgot to add, I am also running 2 5gallon tanks.
Yea, those Oasis compressors are definitely bad ass.. just depends on your budget. hit me up if you need more info on any of the compressors.
Go with the 200 psi compressor it takes a lil more psi to lift the Accords..
has anyone use the air zenith compressors
^^^^Got two of them on my truck
