Opinions on UAS and AirRunner: Input Please

[Amoney47]

The time is coming near to purchase my air ride and i can get uas for 2300 no tax and i can get airrunner for 3000 no tax as well. price on both isnt really that big of a problem but i want to know which is better and more reliable.

What car is this going on?

[Oxer]

Just remember that plastic fittings etc are ftl.

Brass that ish up.

UAS all day every day. I sell their components and even run them on my own car daily. They're very helpful and they stand behind their product.

as for fittings I wouldnt use UA or AirRunner.. Eaton/Weather head is your only option if you want reliable fittings.

Hit me up if you're looking for a quote on those fittings or just have any questions.

When you say you can get a setup for $2300 do you mean the management or the management and the air struts?

Why not go with Accuair e-level which is the best way of managing your air and having UAS help you in building your struts?

Airrunner uses Accuair components for the majority of their system now so if that airrunner price of $3k includes struts i'd jump on that and run!

management and air for both

[Pasquale]

if you plan to drive this car daily I would do a manual set-up. You would be eliminating almost all the electronics from the system in turn making your car a heck of a lot more reliable. Its a lot easier to change a damaged hose on the side of the freeway then to try and find gremlins when you start popping fuses. Im sure its not a normal thing becuase accuair does make a quality product but I've had a couple customers switch over to man. valves becuase they couldnt work the gremlins out with the electronics.

I would definitely go with air runner.

If your popping fuses chances are something isn't installed correctly. I don't sell accuair product for a living I just know it pretty well. All the harnesses are checked individually, the ecus and manifolds are all individually tested, and everything is gone over before shipping. 9 times out of 10 its an installation issue or something was programed wrong but can be straightened out with them over the phone same day. If its a defective part they replace it.

I just think the time of chasing air and using gauges with switches or autopilot to try and level your car out has come and gone and anyone trying to bag their car that isn't doing it to make a lot of noise should just do it with either switchspeed or e-level.

To each his own though.

[Pasquale]

very true.

The simple truth is exactly what you said though installed incorrectly could mean problems. Accuair is not a simple system by any stretch. Well made but I wouldn't trust it fully unless it was installed by Reno himself. I just like assurance. The nice thing about man. valves is its like air ride for dummies. First timer installers could nail it on the first try no problem.

[Average_Jerk]

AccuAir E-Level system looks good to me

I see where your coming from but it comes with pretty in-depth instructions and can be done right. At the end of the day I think we both agree switches are out.

Eitherway I still say airrunner for $3k. I don't know where you got that price but if it actually comes with air struts thats unreal.

[LuckyBoyOne3]

From experience, When installed right (Which isn't that hard to wire an ign. hot, constant 12v, and a good ground) a good digital system out performs a manual system all day long, it is 1000 times easier to install, and way more user friendly, I have drivin on digital air control for over 15k miles in just the second half of the year!

But back to the question... If you have coil overs already then go with the UAS Its is super reliable, and the customer service is as great as the product.

[Schnitz]

Airrunner's struts are really the only thing you'll be paying for. You'll end replacing the cheap tanks, compressor & valves.
If they'd sell the struts by themselves for a reasonable price that would be the optimal situation. They don't so my vote is for UAS.

i used UAS along with Russel fittings and stainless braided lines ... love it and havent had any problems ...

Man, that's the neatest install i've ever seen. Top marks.

[Doc]

350z

Hey just bought a KSport Airtech for my 350z. Suppose to be a nice kit. I heard good things about it.

[NJzFinestG]

i got a G35 coupe with UAS

im running UAS bags over Tokico D-specs. 2- Vair 444 comp, Dakota digi gauge and 7 switch since its smaller and looks better than the 9 switch. also went with a asco manifold to minimize leaking issues in the future. couldnt be happier.

i have 16 way adjustability with the d-specs and they ride perfect.

DEF UAS in my book.

me as well im ordering mine like in 2 hours

[NJzFinestG]

i know a vender for ksport on another site and other ppl who said ksport airride is horrible for the money.

[525iT_Feen]

I just don't understand why, with it almost being 2011, and Air technology excelling as fast as it is, you guys are still considering switches.

keeps cost down for ppl not wanting to spend big $$ e-controllers, and its easier to lift each corner, s-s, f-r when u wanna show it off.. etc.

each has its pros and cons tho. i personally like switches better vs e-controllers. i do have a digital gauge tho

[Jesus Christ]

i agree but its not for everyone, i even like analog guages.

analog guages and electric valves on a switchbox is just where it is for me for older cars

I got sponsored by them so im not spending to much.

[4DGS]

I would take airrunner over UAS. UAS usually has fitment issues.

I haven't worked with Ksport bags and I really haven't heard anything yet.

How did you get sponsored by them?

[NJzFinestG]

what kind of fitment issues? my uas didnt have any at all. u can do more and upgrade parts easier than air runner. also for the price air runner really isnt worth it when uas is just as good for alot cheaper.

[4DGS]

Bag fitment, the G coupe I did was fine but I had issues with every single LX platform I ever worked on and any VW kit never seemed to work.

They are a decent company for picking what you do and do not want but I'd take air runner if I were to bag my car. (if I didn't just do it all custom)

[blkvip]

you can also use uas bags and get a good set of coils and youll b set. wut im doing full adjustment but not at the price of airrunner

[killervq35hr]

Ksport kit will be here on thurs I will post pics once I finish install. Hope it goes well. LOL:D
