How many of you use compression fittings from a hardware store? I was just gonna get some from HD but just wanted to make sure that they're not gonna crap out on me. Thanks.

sorry it was humorous to see home depot worded next to suspensions. no, you should use DOT approved fittings, that way you will have little to no trouble out of your air suspension.

I've used them before for quick fixes, before finding out that for just a little bit more I could get Parker/Alkon or SMC.. which are DOT approved, and in my experience WAYY less leaks.. I've even broken a few of the nuts on the Home Depot type lol. The DOT approved one's have a better ferrule also, with a small alignment type ring on them.. so I've been able to re-use them also.

I only use fittings from home depot.... never have any problems with them and i have put them on all my shit and all the rest of the cars that I have helped with or done. ace fittings suck..... just my opinion
