i'm not saying i expected more out of it honestly, for what it is, it works great.

I'm just saying what i don't like about it, and it's what i'd like to change... and i'm asking for some advice.

Pretty sure that has more to do with the size airline you use. i think AR might come with a thinner airline if I remember. My friends G35 uses airrunner and it isn't any slower than my UAS set up. Ride is good as well. I love my UAS set up, the cost was about $3100-3300 for everything which was still several hundred cheaper than AR and I have digital air management


One thing you will have a problem with if you go uas is the upper control arm not having enough travel space when you air down, therefore the front won't go too low but there is ways to fix that. I don't think you have the same problem with airrunner.

If you go for UAS or air runner the front end on a 95 -00 LS is limited by the control arm for it to be laying frame .

Lots of kits lots of parts and none of them are equal in price or parts.
Airbags are $80-150 WTF give universal air the idea to then turn around and sell them with a bracket and ask $2500-3000 never mind $2000 . It is a $1000 setup being *****d out .

Smaller lines make it lift smoothly , use less air and have a more stiff response for travel.
I think i use 1/4 and it works perfect and is just right for me since my 380 comp doesn;t get overworked trying to fill it.

If you want options to make your OEM system better , get a 5 gallon tank , mount it in the trunk a 380 viair compressor , lines and a control module from easystreet for $700 . You will now be able to make it do anything you want. If and when your oem struts go then upgrade those as well so you can do it slowly.
