Default Stance vs airunner

Lately I been doing alot of read on this topic b/c I am planing on geting some really wide deep dish wheel . Now here were my problem is alot of people here roll and pull there fender and with coilovers get away with haveIng big wheels but from my understanding with air you can get away with with a biger/ wider rim b/c you can play with the ride height but is it worth it?Other problem I have is I don't know the maintenance on airrunner, I know coilovers don't have any. The airrunner kit I haven't price bur I know I'm going have to save a little more for it but as for the stance I already have them waiting at my local shop. Now which one would you pick for your daily driver? Btw this will be my first time with air.

I had air for a while, and it was a pita. Maybe because it was UAS. Air runner should handle way better. I'm going from air to coils.

UAS= Universal Air Suspension. Some modification maybe needed, depending on vehicle. You just get the bags/hoses/compressor and tank(not sure about switch's or guages). You have to buy your own shocks/coilovers. Add the bags in place of the springs that come with them.

AirRunner= JDM YO!! lol. They are made specific to each car and are OEM replacement. No modification needed, bolts right in place. Also, they are a strut style, that is built as 1 component. You cant remove the bags from the struts. You also get struts/hoses/compressor/tank/switch's and guages.

Im sure there is ample amount of info in the VIP section of this forum. Just search around and you can find out more info between both of them.

my buddy has them on his is300 and hes very happy with them. he's able to go very low and says the ride is not too bouncy at all.

is3 - thanks for the quick run down! very informative. ill definitely have to read up more on them
