HELP! suspension all the way extended
car wont stop trying to raise itself. did the washer mod and when we brought the car back down the car tried to raise itself. reverted back to stock setup but the problem wont go away. reset the battery (disconnected both batteries) and it still wont go away. is there a way to purge the bags and get this back down to stock?

where is the compressor relay? wouldnt disconnecting both batteries kinda do the same thing? i feel like the bags are too inflated and wont bleed off pressure. ive never seen the car so high

I thought about that but they are in the same exact way they were in before. I can't really see how you can mess that up? If its easy to mess up please tell me and I'll look again.

it is easy to mess up. I guess it is difficult to explain but the the sensor rotates as it goes up and down and you can flipe the arm and cause it rotate in the wrong direction and reverse the signal.

I was also wondering why the back is raised as well. When you start the car it says raising car. It isn't until you put it in drive that it says "car too low"

Nobody's even seen your car man. That **** is vaporware.
You and your parents might be happy with the lowering links on your cars but they're bad for your suspension, period.

crappy pics, hopefully you can read them. Ill post what they say above the actual pic just in case.
The arm circled in hwite MUST be pointed Down. this will cause the car to raise very high if done backwards.
This is just the top nut after about 2000 miles of driving fast.. Lol
This is where the washers should be. Dont use to many or the bolt with not thread all the way onto the stud and will fall off
This is the whole sensor assembly
