Default Accuair Benefits... Watch Video

This video was interesting to me... Seems like there is much more to being on air then just slammed sitting still...

Accuair is an air management setup. So it is universal with almost all air suspensions.

You guys need to read the european car magazine article for last month. this video is a month old already. I was at the testing for the you tube video and the magazine article and they pushed this car to it limits everytime.

okay so just want to make sure but all someone would need is x4 (obviously) air struts installed +

e-Level Air Management Package w/ Touchpad
- 1) Upgrade to Dual Compressors? YES
- 2) Choose TouchPad Finish Black Anodize
- 3) Choose Tank Color Black Anodize
- 4) Choose Air Bag Fitting Size 1/4" NPT
- 5) Add EXO Mount? EXO2 (Dual Compressor)
- 6) Add Power Supply Kit? NO
- 7) Add Key-Fob Remote? YES
- 8) Add Exhaust Mufflers? YES

and this is essentially all that is required to have what that s4 had right??

what is a good recommended company or set for x4 air struts. just trying to figure out the best way i could make this happen on a car... since i already have bc coils i guess i would need to get airrex or UAS bags right? any idea how much these might run?

The S4 in the Video had stock OEM struts with our Bags installed on them. This Kit installed on this car is completely bolt on including the ride height sensors. The Power supply was also installed. If you already have BC you can either buy UAS bags which would just be installed over your current coils, or if you wanted to replace the BC coils you would buy something like Air Rex or Air runner. Price wise anywhere from 1k-2700 for top of the line Air Runner

I love my Accuair, and everytime I am at a show and check out other management systems I am so glad I went with Accuair...comfort, easy to use, no pressures or gauges to fuss with, just press a button and go (and you don't even really need to do that with ride height on start).

I think most people just don't get the advancements made in air suspension technology lately. Lots of people I come across act like air is the same as hydrolics, with the most common question being "can you make it bounce?" I wouldn't be surprised if air suspension makes it way to racing soon, if they can get milisecond adjustments down during cornering/braking to keep a car flat...that would be epic.

Accuair has succeeded in making a kit that can be installed easily in just about any vehicle that performs 99.9% like a factory air system. This is achieved by simply not even knowing it is there most of the time, and the ability to make fine adjustments on the fly to keep a preset ride height. I have had people in my car that didn't even know I was on bags until I drop it when we park...and that's when the jaw drops
