i didn't know it existed until now... i can't read japanese so the website info was useless... does anyone here know more about it? i'm running tein cs coilovers right now, but i was thinking long and hard about air runners, but no one here can install it or knows anything in general about it where i live... what do i lose/gain from running this hybrid setup?

I was researching this setup a while back but I couldn't find much info on it. Specifically what applications they make it for.

[thumper]

because i found it on clublexus, they only mentioned the ls(not sure which models) and both 1st and 2nd gen GS models.

there is a link to the tanabe japanese website in that link... if you can read japanese there is an application chart.

There is a couple of people here on the forums running them.. But when I asked them they really didnt recommend them

i think youd b better off with the air force kit

[AutofashionFred]

Nissan4U2nv has it in his LS been around for ages. Only thing is that its not guaranteed to fit and no warantee on it.

and it does not go low... i think coilovers go lower than them.

yeah, they are definately an early adopter type thing. horrrrible setup

X2.

Best of both worlds, and cheaper than running UAS+coilovers. Just not as much air up/down than the UAS kit.

airrunner is just a full replacement just like you would install coilovers. then just run the plumbing the same way you do with every airsuspension setup :shrug:

The air cobra was installed on a honda fit before over here. Probably the only kit I've ever seen in real life. It doesn't go very high nor does it go very low. I think it fails as a show look, because it's major point is only to help the driver go over curbs or inclines, not to go slammin' low.

looks like there's only like 2 inches or so of play. not worth the money imo.
