not sure how much more i can say without repeating myself.

from the vibe i'm getting from you airrunner seems like a safe choice, it seems like the pros of ar are more relevant than the pros of a uas + coil (or other) setup. you never here anybody say they wish they HADN'T bought airrunner... same can't be said for other setups.

That is true, you have already mentioned a lot of informative information.

Thanks

From what people are saying, you should start saving for air.
It will be worth it.

UAS or Airrunner, but if you like coilovers with cups check out platinum VIP or Roberuta....

LOL thats a Nice TAX return.

The LS400 with auto setup is expensive but will be worth it.

Keep us posted on it.

Good luck

It looks pretty good.

There are members who have Ksport.

For the price listed, I would say save up a bit more, and get airrunner.

Or contact vendor: chops@MVP, you could get a better deal through them.

Or you can also run UAS bags, with 'Easy Street Digital Auto Pilot Air Management System'.

That is what V8RdnLow, chrispy, and v8 aristo are running.

What strut bar would work along side the airrunner suspension ?

I have an RMM strut bar, and hopefully it would fit...

any stb should work on air runners. I know there's a concern about the short bolts that their top mounts provide...and whether there's enough threads for the nuts.

Thanks for the info.

I was told from a CL member with airrunner that their Tein strut bar does not fit. But with a bit of modification (shaving) he can get it to fit.

Shaving? What are they shaving?

Fitting over the engine cover is another story...only the carson style stb, c-one, rmm (not sure over the GS430) fits.

This issue is the short bolts on the front top mounts. I used my rear OEM nuts up front...and sent the OEM front nuts to the rear...fits.

Recommended Driving psi for those without auto leveling systems:


When you are the only one in the car, what psi do you set the GS at ?

When you have a passenger what psi ?

When you have a full GS (5 people including yourself) what psi would you recommend ?


Thanks guys
