Also, the higher the pressure and higher the car gets, so center of gravity will also be affected. If I were to use my car at the track or go through mountain passes, then for sure I will put my coilovers for that.

If you were to go up into the 90+mph area does it wobble or feel floaty?
I know JT had this system with a turbo but he really never drove his car after the airrunners than sold the car. I'm just trying to find out more info before I make a move and it doesn't feel safe at higher speeds. I'm sorry if this is off subject a little.

i dont reccommend it if you like to go fast. I'm on air w/ s/c and i honestly dont like it. I mean i love the way it looksbut handling sucks compared to my old tte springs/l-tuned shocks w/ trd race sways. now i only have the race swys and it handles nothing like it did before. I think i'm going to take the shocks out and when i goto shows put them back in.

19x10 38offset (rear)
Tire specs: Dunlop DZ-101
245/35/19 (front)
275/30/19 (rear)
I'm also using 8mm spacer on all my wheels to get it this close to my cut and rolled fenders. Without the modified fenders, the offsets would work perfectly.

Oh Boy
I must be getting old cause im not feeling that low car at all. To me, it looks sorta VIP, Rice, Mexican, and Ghetto. - No racism implied here guys. Somehow it takes away from the luxury look. Especially when I hear that the handling is not so good, well to each their own. Everyone else loves the look, so good job.
Peace

Please accept my apology
Please let me explain myself.
The reason I said "No Racism meant here", is because i didnt know how it would be taken. If you knew me, you would know that I have lots of close Hispanic friends. My brother - in - law is Mexican and I love the culture. Im asian, but I do not take the comment that a car is "RICE" personally. OR if someone says a car is Ghetto looking, that it implies the driver is Poor.
It is just a way of describing a car using terms which are used up here in Seattle. Perhaps its derogatory, and if so, im sorry.
Once again, I dont mean anything hateful by my comment.
Can we all just get along.
Peace out

Wow and the owner of the car is not even Mexican? Those comments are way out of line. 
Be a little bit more sensitive to who you are trying to convey here since this forum is based out of Southern California...not that it matters but there are all nationalities that are represented here...and globally! But in all seriousness no need to call out nationalities

Guys, just so you know, the airrunner air suspension is based of the Toyota Harrier AIRS suspension system which is very much OEM toyota. You don't have to worry about the airbags popping or breaking under high speed because I am sure Toyota parts are meant to take much more abuse than that.
Yes, I barely drove the car after the air susp and the turbo upgrade, but I did take my car from time to time at high speeds in the highway as well as some crappy roads that we got here and never once I have any doubt of the airrunner capabilities. Heck I think I even remember seeing a video clip from Japan of a guy with the airrunner system is one of his drift cars doing donuts and drifts in an empty parking lot.
Like I said, don't worry, adrian and poyet, I have huge faith in the airrunner system.
