Post 808_Yaris with Air Runners!

Ordered the kit back in February from Revision Audio, and waited up until now to get my air runners. Japan made 5
kits for the US which is now stocked in Cali, and my serial number is 00001(number 1 of 5)! All I can say is, it was
well-worth the wait...

Air Runner Kit consists of:
2 Front Bellowed Struts
2 Rear Sleeved Bags
1 Tank (Standard or Pancake)
1 Heavy Duty Compressor
1 Mounting Plate
1 Pressure Switch

Optional Items:
Dakota Digital Gauge

Update 6/8/09:
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.

Update 7/10/09

In my opinion, the ride is pretty close to stock. There's not a significant difference from what I can feel. But if you do decide to ride pretty low, that's when the bags tend to bounce a little.

I don't have to go easy on the bags, not like I'm riding on balloons The air runners is strong enough to handle my type of daily driving.
