So over the weekend, I took the liberty to play with my car a little bit. The switches are fun to play with, and can be operated while driving the car. There are four switches, each designated to one wheel, are controlled whichever way you'd like to maneuver it. Since this car is my daily driver, the ride does get a little bumpy when the car is low( 1/2" to 1"gap from tire to body of vehicle). A good height to drive the car at is a 1" gap just to be safe. I'm still experimenting on the ride heights, since I can't see outside my car whenever I go over speedbumps and up/down driveways. Made a video over the weekend which can now be seen on youtube. I used up a lot of air to operate the car within that short amount of time.

ok, this might sound like an ass question, but what is the main difference between this kit and the other two or three I can buy? My guess would have to be with the brackets for the bags as the components are pretty staright forward and can be had pretty much anywhere. Thanks.

The main difference between air runner and any other application you would buy is that air runner is a complete bolt on application. The ride is also supposed to be significantly greater than any other air ride applications.

Contents include:

2 Front Bellowed Struts
2 Rear Sleeved Bags
1 Tank (Standard or Pancake)
1 Heavy Duty Compressor
1 Mounting Plate
1 Pressure Switch

What are the other two or three you can buy? I'm curious because some brands are questionable.

I think there are a few differences.
1) Air Runner reputation and quality. Sure it's a little pricey, but same reason why you buy a Panasonic TV versus Zenith TV.
2) It's a kit specifically for the Yaris - not a universal kit that you would have to modify to fit.
3) I think the front bellowed struts are Air Runner exclusives (?) You can buy the bags (Firestone) and other related parts but you'd have to piece them together yourself.

808_Yaris · 06-29-2009, 07:41 PM

Yeah what parts do you need when planning/running air suspension?

oops, sorry forgot all about this. I had seen StreetBeatCustoms had a kit for about $1200 that included Air Compressor, Manifold Valve, 5 gallon air tank, 10 switch box, 50 ft 3/8 airline, 4 Air bags, Front and Rear Brackets, Fittings, PSI switch.

Air Runner is a proven company that backs the product 100%. I've seen them on most of the show cars out here -- if I were bagging my own car, I wouldn't use any other brand (mostly because I don't know enough about reliability with others, but I do with these guys).

I have an Air Runner account now, if anyone is (seriously) interested, I can get them for you.

One major comparison between air runner and any other airbag suspension is the ride, that is...from my experience. We need more people to get it!
