If you know what your doing and educated on air susspension then I say UAS why? save about 2500 dollars I been on UAS for a lil over a year and a half with no issues besides a valve sticking but this was due to my neglect on draining the system. And customer service is great. My friend is riding on K sport and the car drives real nice even dumped. As far as air runner I never rode in a car with it so I cant speak on it My friend Rodney with the white TL speaks highly of it. But like Spyder says its all on the install and what air management you are using. If your driving a GS and dont have the top hats they offer then I suggest you get them rite away, This takes care of the issue with bag rubbing against knuckle. Spyder also educated me on running UAS with bc coils, I am going to give it a try this coming spring, I think this will be the way to go especially if you like to drive low. Only thing is I will have to have the rear coils moddified to run the bags which UAS offers to do at a reasonable price

why would you upgrade the managment on a cup kit? ride height is dialed via coilovers not cups so you need no gauges. you raise for obstacles only so any kind of auto leveling system is ridiculous. not only do cups have lower air requirments but even if you did burn a single compressor you are only stuck at ride height so dual compressors is pointless. i would even deam electric valves worthless. if anything a cup kit should be stripped down and simplified.
why make cups act like bags? that's not their intended application or full potential.

Id like to do hydraulics, ..over air. .Reason why Im leaning toards air, is I dont have a good understanding of hydraulics, as far as the install. I know that with adjusted accummulaters, ..the ride can be very nice, and can offer more travel. Plus, hydros would just be baller.

LOL , this thread is jokes.
So many opinions and so little facts.
Money is your first factor and since AR is in your price range and you are new to having air it would be your best bet.
When your experience surpasses its cost you can piece together better parts to make a proper air suspension install.
I am not a fan of UAS by its own virtue and price but you can't blame them because someone wants to ride super low in a modified car . You got to check your own **** this isn't the lexus dealer where they better get your car wash right . Kudos for UAS to step up and replace the design for those with the issue when it was not there fault.
BTW Air runner nor K sport use DOT fittings , just cheap ptc pieces . Go ahead and put those on your car they should come with some
bubble gum brakes and some duct tape.
All comes down to the installer to know better and make sure you get the proper parts and not just what the sales person wants to make a profit off of you for.
