Also, do they not pose a potential safety issue if you were rear ended? It looks nice bagged though
I was kind of thinking the same thing at first but then I thought, its just compressed air...so maybe it'll just be louder as the air escapes if theres a collision
looks great on the floor! Interesting tank placement, I didn't think that was possible...i have no idea how much those tanks weigh, but does it affect the handling at all being that far past the axle?
ya with the vert there is no room to mount the tanks when the roof is down. I have seen a couple other guys use multiple smaller 1 gal tanks in the spare wheel well but I didnt want to do that. but no the tanks are aluminum and very light like less than 2 lbs each and they are just filled with air so they don't affect the handling at all.
Good reply, how hard is that rear bumper to remove to check the tanks?
Looks great btw!
the bumper is not hard to remove, a few plastic snaps along the sides and some in the trunk opening. I had to ditch the foam piece underneath though because the tanks got in the way. hopefully i shouldnt have to check the tanks at all, the air lift system is designed to purge the water trap on its own so other than if it leaks i should never have to check them.
mid there really in major difference in the 2009-2013 I’m looking into buying the latest one but I won’t if somebody tells me there’s no reason to

Models prior to 2012 have an inferior oil gallery gasket that can be expensive if they fail (around $2k give or take) it's not something that fails w/ regularity but something you should be aware of. Here's a big thread on that issue~https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-cou...xperience.html
