i find it interesting that air runner doesn't specify anything about the tank, compressor, pressure switch or actual control module. nor do they show any pictures of the struts. does anyone know if they use a switchbox or digital controller? i can't believe for just shy of 5000 you get a "basic" looking kit. for that kind of coin you could definitely have a better setup and run digital management (accuair, easy street, air ride tech). i can't believe how expensive air runner is!
KYB 4-way adjustable struts.
Firestone Sleeves
Firestone Lines
Firestone Air compressor
Firestone gauges...
Firestone pretty much makes the whole kit for Airruner.
Your buying There system. So they don't need to list anything.
Its not a universal system where they throw different parts from different company's together.

Calviin,

I had Tein, HKS, Zeal, Megan, Tanabe coilovers on my car. I also had the Airrunner system. I can tell you from my honest opinion, that Airrunner was the best setup I had. The ride is VERY close to stock, and the option of raising, lowering your car is GREAT (Comes in handy when you have a lip kit)..
If your going to invest in suspension then do it right the first time.
if you want coilovers for street use I will tell you HKS, Ride is smooth and comfy. If you plan on tacking your car go with Zeals, the ride is very stiff.
If you plan on street use, and love flossing...go with Airrunner.

Here's a little motivation LOL
nice one John
BTW, you lowered your perches all the way down (the rear) right??

That was the front. Remember I told you I couldn't thread it all the way down cause the shock bottoms out?

yeah,,I have mine like that, but I think mine is little lower than yours
maybe that's why I hear my shock bottoms out everytime I drop...
I guess I should raise it little more......
