Default Air Suspensions

Has anyone tried using air ride suspension? I did a search and saw a posting about the Tanabe AirCorba which looks way better then what I have been able to find in the states. So far the only thing that manufactures (builds) air suspensions for lexus is from airbagit.com. I was thinking of making my own setup, but wanted to see if others have tried it with spring/air hybrid or air alone...

Thanks,
Frank

Yeah the most common air ride setup for the GS is the air runner setup. There are a few other companies that sell universal air struts, that you need fab up your lower mounts, etc.

Just to name a few companies, airlift, universal air suspension, and chassis tech.

I say Air Runners....they are a little more $$$$ but the ride is sooooo sweet. I have a set but I have not installed them on my car due to time. The shocks are 4 way adjustable from soft to a hard setting, and again, since I have not installed mine, it will be hard to give my full opinion, but for the record, I rode in the Air Runner LS430 with 4 adults with 22" rims and rubber band tires, and I gotta tell you the ride....well to me seemed better then stock even with 22" rims and 4 guys in it. And the cornering, well lets just say that is what sold me on them...

Best bang for the buck...IMHO.

Cheers and good luck!

Sorry bro...they are not for sale at the current time. I am still holding on to them with the hopes to have them install one of these days...

If and when I get my new project car I might put them up forsale, but I am not sure how soon or long that may be.

Cheers,
