how long have you had your air runners and is there alot of maintenance involved or can you just set them at the hight you want and not worry about them ? any problems.

1. Define line goes down. Do you mean if there's a leak? Yes, then you are screwed if you leave it and go watch a movie for example. You will come back with your front lip abt 1in away from the ground.

2. No, my car is still at the shop. My audio is taking way forever. But from what I know, it rides like what a "firmed-up" LS430 should. So, no you will not get coilovers performance, but yes, they are still quite a bit better than stock GS.

3. Define high speed here. In Indonesia, anything above 70mph is usually considered high speed. We run out of roads to drive quite quickly.

I've had the airrunner for about 2 months now. But my car has only seen road time ONCE since the airrunner was installed on the car. I have yet to take it to the streets for some real life use.

You can NEVER set it at its highest (0 shock travel) or at its lowest (0 shock travel) and then take it for a drive. That's a guarantee that your airrunner will fail to work.

hey, I have Canovers on my TL.....

In my opinion, no matter what kind of setup you get, it all depends on the install....if your installer knows what he is doing, than you should not have any problems. I drove my car about 4K miles since I had the air put in, and I havent had any problems with leaks or anything like that. (My installer was NASTY). As far as hard driving, like jt said, its not as firm as the Tein coilovers I use to have, but you can still definately push the car hard if you want to. And, finally, bout high speeds, I am not sure how it would work with other brands of suspension, but my car has seen 130+ quite a few times, and the car is rock solid.....The ride on canovers is as smooth as stock, if not smoother..
