How long did it take to install Air Runner?
#16
Yeah the cups aren't intended to be used while driving. Only to get over things and you'd only want to clear things if you're driving low which is what you dont want to do. Maybe you can have the shop work on your car multiple times and spread out your install. That'll give them a weekend at a time to work on it. I say go buy a beater civic for the month for the install then sell it after. You might actually make some money in the process. Or hell they're only asking $200 for expidited install. That's not bad

Samson (Rev-01) and Justin is right. It depends on your set up. Since you are gong with AR and Accuair, it does take longer. Mine was in the shop for almost 2 weeks. Replacing the strut is the easy part, my installer (Impact Performance in SF) removed the carpet to run all the air line, the switches are in the mid console. He made sure there are no leaks and he calibrate and test drove to make sure the setting are good. Shin is a stand up guy...meet him several time.
Cup kit or Air Runner? I paid more for the Air Runner OTG kit and have no regret...comfort is superb.

This is my plan as well. I'm going to keep the stock air with the controller for a while until I save up for the OTG kit. Also, I can tell you that my car looks dumb with wheels and stock (high height) height. Some (my wife) would consider it a donk.

I agree credit cards are evil. I just paid off all my debt too. Not sure if I want to add it again.

Haha I just went to Air runner in Anaheim to order the kit too. Drove with basic one and it can drive low and ride was very smooth so I chose basic kit. I can't really slam and drive anyways cuz I live in so.cal... (pot holes, etc...) Quoted me $6500 ish for basic + e-level, water trap kit, valve switches, upgraded tank, extra compressor, and dakota digital gauges. And $500 tax and $1500 installation fee because of dakota digital gauges so it was $8500! Ouch... He cut me a break on tax because I was paying cash so total was 8k even. I know it takes time but when I got there, they were working on few cars already and seems like they take their time to inspect everything. I know 2 weeks installation time is long but I think it's worth it. Dooo it!

I decided to just hold off on it for a year until I have some money saved up. So I don't get taxed extra for paying on my card. Probably just install some coilovers and barely drop it since I'm too afraid of the all driveways I go through.
