Air runner is also good, but IMO nothing beats the quality of UAS bags
Installing the Air system is not that hard, but it is freakin complicated to run the wires

On a side note, Airrunner makes an OG kit, which stands for on the ground kit. It basically is the same airrunner kit on a adjustible coilover spring so you can ride low without bottoming out. This is the basic premise behind the UAS system i.e. bellow bag over coilover shock.
The plus to Airrunner is the quaility. Everything is included in the kit, no custom fabrication needed. However customizing your setup will be impractical.
The plus and down side to UAS is complete customization, there are no kits, just parts.
If you want to be rediculously different, go with BOLDWORLD air suspension. Super sexy setup with a rediculous price tag. This is the equivalant to Gucci or Louis Vitton of air suspension.
Finally, i suggest doing the air management electronically, that way the air is relased in the trunk and it's super quiet. Nothing says class like silently dropping the car at the touch a remote.
Sorry, i have nothing against UAS, it was just at the time when i wanted to buy air, UAS was not known for quality, and the fitment for the vehicle called for some moderate modifications. I wanted complete bolt on and quality, that way when it comes time to trade the car in, everything can be returned to stock.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and i'll try to answer them

No prob. I'll try and get some pictures of the install, but see how much your shop will charge you to do the digital air management system (i.e. electro valve solenoids, bigger half inch lines, etc.) Airrunner offers this kit, so if you want seamless integration try that route. The system is small enough to tuck in the spare tire well system. PM me if you need more info.

What i really wanna know, is what kind of modification is needed to make the pancake style air tank installed in the 2IS trunk?
Does everyone upgrade to the digital guage?
@Kameamalu: i know what your talking about the quietness, i was surprised to hear a IS with airruners, that thing was dead silent! When i heard it, i fell in love but i never asked for a price because i know its above 4k...

hm..nice review and explanation kameamalu
I guess I'm little biased on UAS since I owned one , but my system was also direct bolt on,,I did not modify anything on my car to install this. Well, I had to use some screws to bolt my valves, but that was it
I haven't seen Airrunner yet, but I will like to see its set up
and Ben
I have upgraded to the digital gauge~! Dakota system.
as far as I know, this is one of the BEST systems in the market
I've talked to many different guys and they all told me..
"it's the best out there..I'll recommend it if you can afford it..."

Sweet!!! So that's good to hear that they are much better. Any way I really do like the Dakota digital gauges, I agree that the system is perfect. Also for those that are just gettitng in to the air game, what psi do you guys run? For me I run daily height at 92 and 86 psi on the front and 82 in the rear. To ride dirty, I put it at 65 and 70 in the front and 56 psi in the rear. There's a slight rub, but I burry my rim in the fender, so much that I can't turn the wheel too much, or I'll roll my fender.

yeah Dakota digital gauges is the ***** man
and I do run 92/88 F and 88/89 R psi for daily driving
when I slam the car, I still have 35~40 psi left on my bag
which means, I can re-adjust my bags and drop it even more
but I'm freaking slam and pretty happy where I am right now hehehe
