I have Ben reading some of the 2gs post about air and they all are liking the airrunner setup. Say you can run slammed really good performance and trouble free. I'm going to post something on VSC see if the VIP boys have a 3gs on this system that can give some info

i never had my gs on bags nor have i used uas but my previous car was a dd that was bagged with an easystreet setup. imo its not that bad and plenty of people dd bagged cars. i use to drive approx 45 mins each way to work in my bagged car and it rode good. you just have to find a comfortable setting just like a coilover system. theres more maintenance involved with an air system though.

I DD with Universal Air Suspension on my 3GS. The ride is exceptionally great. I purchased my full setup from Will at pgmotoringusa. Although they forgot a couple of items with my shipment, the answered all my questions and gave me good insight.
I had them installed by Carlin at Impact Performance in San Francisco. He was real informative and did a good job with my install. I am hoping to go back to him with a couple of minor adjustments, but he has been real tight on schedule so, for now, I have been driving on them daily and have not come across any issues.
The ride is great and quiet. Until of course your dryer turns on (compressors). Otherwise I would definitely recommend looking into airbags. I drove about 50 miles round trip 6 days a week for about 5 months, recently I have began to settle down and not drive it so much, but everything still works like a charm. *knock on wood
If you have any questions you can contact me and I will forward you to Carlin with Impact Performance, and he can piece together a basic setup for you, and get you a quote for installation. He will be able to answer a lot more questions than I can!

I DD with bags on the beater and 3 months in no problems no maintenance. I would strongly recommend them, although you won't drive around "slammed" you'll drive around lowered. Just knowing you can lift a little, not grind and scrape makes It hard to drive slammed. Plus with my wheel fitment I don't take the chance...
Megan EZ with UAS, UAS rocks and is priced right. AR seems expensive to me...

UAS fits with the Megans, you'll need to get a couple custom parts made at a machine shop but not a big deal. Contact Zack at Universal, he was very helpful For me.
That being said the only maintenance I can see is draining the tanks every once in a while to let wtv water in it out... Take a about 10 seconds and involves pushing a button. I've done this once in 3 months.
Besides that I guess inspect it every so often to make sure everything looks okay and hoses/ bags aren't rubbing anywhere.
I do suggest helping on the install or being present so you understand how it works....

I installed my own kit so I know exactly how it works, plus I did a simple manual kit so I wouldn't have to mess with electrical parts.
