I need a valve block for my ride pro e2 controller and computer.
Airride sells one for $500 or the Big Red for $800.

I found this one on ebay:

Does the same thing right? Price is also very interesting.

What do you think?

I'm biased as I work in R&D for Ridetech, but I will make one suggestion:
-inquire about quality, namely who makes it

Our valves are manufactured for us by Norgren and Parker. I'd be suspicious of "chinese" parts.

I have the air ride tech valves. Ummm, they are really good valves. Even if you didnt use their valve blocks (which are some nice blocks) the valves are top of the line.

I wouldnt go with the Big Red system unless you had a specific need for a very high flowing valve. The standard valve flows PLENTY and unless you are filling a really large air bag the big red is not needed and will get difficult to control... JR

Oh, on a side note. The large coils you see on the ebay valves. Its a copy, of who knows what. But its not an original engineering design. If its a Chinese part, and I suspect it is. JR
