Honestly out of all of the cars that I am aware of that use UAS only the GS has had any real issues and as far as that there has only been 2 or 3 occurrences. Not to nitpick but proper understanding of why the problem occurs will open your eyes. The problem is due to the installation, since the UAS kit can be assembled per each customers specs, it changes several things, such as how the bag sits and at what pressure people are than forced to ride. Since most people used the stock top hats without correctly modifying them, this moved the bag closer to the spindle and at low ride height since the bag is deflated it begins to rub the bag. The UAS top hats make the install a breeze because it now moved the spindle lower and allows you to drive and drop lower.

Spyder, how low do you drive? I drive with just enough air to lift the car up. I wonder If my bags would rub. I have the brackets. Sorry for Hijacking. Anyways, like I said, If you have the money get the Air Runner

another simple answer to a simple question:

if you have the money, air-runner.


if you don't quite have all the money, k-sport.

spyder, Airrunner= zero mods of anything....just bolt up and go. I'm sure you've read the threads with people having to run spacers and their bags rubbing. Try to find one about airrunner problems. I'm not saying everyone that runs UAS will have problems, but if you like to ride low, you'll need modifications like you stated. Airrunner, you will not have to. Hope that clarifies my statement.

Thanks for the clarification speed but I sell them both, Airrunners are the best for what they are supposed to do hence the price. But UAS is based on installer expertise just like alarms, so setup properly they will go lower than airrunner and are easier to service in the long run. But that is just me. I think we clarified the options for the OP.
