we will see if it will lay frame. i think it will i seen some 3gs with the same kit and they do. but i dont know if they had to do some a arm mdifications. but we will see its going down on friday and saturday
Do you mean modification on arm will help the car to lay frame with air runner basic kit? I see you have 19" on your sig. Should be easier to lay frame on 19" but how about 20"?

I was debating to get basic kit or on the ground series recently. All the 3GS on 20" with ar I saw are not low enough when the bags are fully deflate.

if the proper tire sizes are ran on both 19s and 20s the overall diameter will be the same and won t lay frame easier than the other.

the airrunner struts are bad ***...but everything else in the kit is blahhhh....over priced
the kit comes with one compressor .cheap valves and switches.

besides the nice struts i think its over price...and the bull**** part is airrunner wont sell just the struts you have to buy the whole kit.

for alittle over 3k i got UAS aero bags
UAS chrome 5 gallon tank
accuair vu4 valve module
accuair auto e-level system
accuair remote system
2x viair 480cc compressors

the airruner GS runs accuair stuff but uses thier own struts..

i'm not hating like i said the airrunner struts are badass but everything else is below grade for the price you pay

What have to be done to lay frame? Sorry for the noob question. I always thought laying frame are all depends on the air suspension.

problems: about 6 monthes ago a tire shop blew my air suspension but that was entirely his fault. he replaced it 500 bucks for tires and 1200 for new front setup LOL i got a deal.

also had a air leak once but i forget from where and when........i just remember that was my reason to go in and upgrade to a remote switch.

other than that no problems.

im not sure i know depending on your wheels and how aggressive they are can be a factor if you want to set the fender bettween the rim and stretched tire having the smaller wheel will get you closer to the ground if your tucking wheel it really depends on suspension limitations I know Tein CST won t lay frame BCracing/megans will on rwd models but the awd models need further modification to allow the front to lay all the way down.
