Air ride on gs350??? Help
I'm thinking about buying a gs350 2006. It's awd. I want to do air ride suspension. Now the problem is that I seen air runner only make a kit for the gs430 and not the gs350. Idk if it's because it's awd. Is there anyone who know anything about this. Because I searched all over but keep finding thread for the gs430

email air runner and ask them if they have a kit that fits the 2006 GS350. you can email them at: airrunnersystems.com (or go to their website: http://www.airrunnersystems.com/air-suspension/ )

my (limited) understandng is that the TC-5 is more for performance driving and such. if you don't plan on taking your GS to the track or stop light to stop light racing, a regular air runner kit should be sufficient (and cheaper too).
i'm not the best person to ask about air runner stuff, hopefully someone who knows better than i do will chime in and give you the info you need. good luck
edit: if you are serious about buying an air runner kit, you better contact do this fast. they are offering a $400 discount on select kits (ask for details and if the discount applies to the kit you are interested in). discount is offered until dec. 31, then goes back up to regular pricing.

i do not think AR makes an awd kit. I dont think theres a difference between the 430 or the 350. The only difference between the AWD suspension and the RWD suspension is the C bracket at the bottom of the front struts that go around the drive shaft. There rears are exactly the same.
Theres a few AWD members here on air but i believe they all went with UAS.

UAS will probably be about $2200 for the basic kit IIRC. Keep in mind the rear struts have to be modified for the 3GS in order for UAS to work. Pretty much cut the strut in half. You can send me to UAS and they will do it for you. Cost however i am not sure of.
Not sure where in NY you are from but look up Lextronic (i believe hes around the long island/staten island area). He has a GS300 with UAS setup.

For UAS you dont have to cut the strut. You just need the metal adaptor brackets.
AirRunner is bolt right on, UAS needs this bracket. Both good systems but most people like AR better. It is also a lot more expensive. For more info check there sites out. Iv talked to UAS a couple times and they are very helpful

Take a look into PlatinumVIP's Phantom cup kit suspension, it is bag-less and never worry about your bags go bad and be stranded on the road. It is race/track proven and one of the best ride adjustable suspension on the market. It will fit onto any coilovers without any modifications like the UAS system does.
Give PlatinumVIP a call and ask for Chris, you can reach them at 626 472 7847.
