Default Help me decide Air Runner vs UAS

Hello CL. I am getting 08 LS460 (SWB) very soon and I am planning to install air suspension on it. I narrowed it down to two choices. Air runner and UAS. I got price quote for essential series system (air runner + e-Level) and dakota digital gauges for $5821. I also got price quote for UAS with BC coil and air management system with dakota digital gauges for $3610. Of course installation fee is like +$500? Anyways, price difference is about $2200. Which one should I go with? Please help me choose... Also 20" or 21" wheels? I like 20" wheels.... so I can slam it and sits low on the ground. Please help me choose...

Thank you,

most of us are running Air runners. But this thread should help you out with why we chose air runners over airrex

Thanks. I think i'll choose air runner over airrex. I guess air runner is worth it even tho it's about $2200 difference than UAS. Do you know any vendor sells air runner kit for LS460 on CL?

Seeing you're in SoCal bring your car to autofashion in sd. I bet they'd give you a good deal if you get the entire package including elevel and install from them

If money is not a issue, I would say go with Air runners, but if you do get the e-level wither either AR or UAS, I don't think you'll need the digital gauge, cause that's what the e-level is for. And as far as 20's, 21's, 22's, most of us have 22's including myself, but I honestly think the ideal size for the LS is 21's, and if you want to be super dumped with you air then 20's is the way to go.

Cool. Thanks. I'll hit autofashion up and see how much is the whole package. Oh if I get e-level, I don't need digital huh? Thanks. I'll just go without digital then. I'll probably stay with 20's~

a digital gauge is not needed but i like to know how each corner is riding also like to know how much pressure is in my tank. Nothing is worst than trying to get over a hump and not having enough pressure in the tank. My pressure sensor turns on at 168psi and off at 200psi. There have been situations where the tank was showing 172psi and i had to wait for the compressors to fill to raise the car.
