The airrunner pretty much bolts up to the stock locations right? I had airride and the shop had to fabricate some upper mounts for the kit.

It should be pretty straight forward, are you going to tackle this yourself?

It should be a very straight forward install. I'm not familiar with the parts of the air runner kit but have installed many other air suspensions in the past. If it's a true kit, it should bolt straight up to the stock shock locations. It's just a matter of running air lines and some electrical...

It's actually pretty simple...it's just as easy as running power wire for a stereo. You just have to be careful of sharp edges and kinks in the line. Other than that you can run it straight through the fire wall and under the carpet.

On another note, have you heard of what the ride quality is with the air runner setup? The picture above has intrigued me and I may be willing to part with my Tein setup in favor of ease of adjustability.

one con i think of is air leaks

but the rest is all pros

it handles like a stock LS430 or so i have been told

i dont plan on going to the track and never would

another reason for me getting this is trying to not mess up my new bodykit coming in

plus the COOOOOL factor
