To be honest, what we saw today has changed my opinion on Airrunners. Now I know why it is so damn expensive. No electronics, all numatics. The car had the switches and guages custom installed. The 5 gallon tank is now where the spare tire is. Overall, this shop did a fantastic install.

To give everyone a heads up, they charged the customer over $6k out the door. "ouch" But ask any air-suspension owner, it is the Best system out there. Complete plug and play.

Rolo, Brian... thanks for coming out. All you can eat pizza was excellent!
Who's gonna be car #2...?

Mike:

This set of Airrunners was a first for this shop. They are currently the only NorCal dealer. It took them a week to fully test and trouble shoot and check for leak, etc. And not to mention the custom switch and guage pod.

This shop is actually well known for custom air/bag suspension for trucks and SUVs. In their opinion, the Airrunner is 100 times easier incomparison to those truck installs.

Airrunner = Plug & Play

Hey dude... the Airrunner install was super clean and straight forward. The shocks are KYB AGX 4-way adjustables. The ride is never like Coilovers like we all know. The performance is sacrificed. The ride is soft like stock but with dampening set to 4, it is much harder.

Talking to many ppl who have Airrunners on their car, they will all tell you.. its the best complete air system on the market. If you do not have the time to piece together a system of your own, Airrunner may be a better choice.

Again, Airrunners will never perform as true coilovers. But you do have height adjustability inside the cabin.

*$4200 = good find.
