Default Finnally AirRunners!!!!!

I did finnally! Ive always wanted an airsus. I was going to go UAS but from all the positive feedback I gathered from VSC meet earlier, and the rockbottom sale on the AirRunner from AutoFashion ($3500) I had to jump in. So yesterday after I got my Right wheel bearings replaced, cause my left one previously failed and the wheel actually popped off and ripped my front fender on the freeway (I have over 150,000 miles). I dont want to risk anything, especially with the new airsus. I spoke with Freddie and he was real cool. He even hooked me up with a free Junction Calendar. I cant wait. Car should be done by Friday. I have cheapo 18s right now wich will be replaced with 20s.
ll post pics later on...

I picked up my car from AF. And have to say they did an excellent job. They even spotted some missing bolts on my suspension and fixed it. thanks! I nearly peed on my pants when I pancaked my ride. Even with the cheap 18s it looked hard! I just have to get used to the air paddles and gauges. The paddles was installed under the ashtray while the gauges was inside the glove compartment. It was hard to get a clear view of the gauges, I had to twist my body to the passenger side. lol. Other than that. The system was flawless! the ride was smooth. I drove it with 2 finger gaps from wheel to fender and it was nice. When I get used to it more ill lower it to ride height of 1 finger gap. Car looked sick! Here are the pics.

thanks for the props guys. I love how it looks so low. I wish I can drive it this low. I accidently pulled the left fender already by going so low at my ride height lol. I paid 600 for the install. Its cheaper than how UAS charges because this is a complete bolt on.
