It's pretty easy to install. For the air valve, I drilled a small hole in the plastic liner around the gas cap so the valve could be easily accessible and cut a small hole in the plastic on the tire well to run the line to the T fitting near the rear axle. The air lines were zip tied to a few other lines that were on the rear axle. To get the air bags in the coils you can roll the air out of them and squeeze them in between the coils and use a blunt tool to help work them in there. WD-40 or something like that may help but it may also make it more difficult.
After having it in my car for a couple months and after trying several different air pressures between 2 and 10 psi, I removed it because the increased spring rate at any psi made the ride a lot harsher. I wanted to raise the rear a little bit, because it was a little lower than the front, so I put some spring spacers under the rear coils, and now it's good.
