The thing comes with KYB adjustables so you can fine to the suspension to your liking. The ride on the car is fantastic with the Air Runner Setup.

The install is bolt on and it took my guy 11 hours to do it on my car which is a pain in the ass.

They kit also has the nicest looking components of any suspension I have ever seen.

What is the backspacing & wheel/tire size shown here? Any wheelhouse/ground clearance mods?

ok...stupid question time....so the tank mounts where the spare tire is...what if I want to keep my spare tire in? What kind of warranty comes with air ride kits..they look sweet, but wonder about the long term?

I thought you were speaking about the ground effects...

If you were asking about the scoups in front of the rear wheels on the 1/4s, then I would have to say THAT is a one-off custom piece....

I just added the pictures of the actual air runner parts for the camaro to the articles gallery.

The front requires you to drill holes for three top nuts for the upper mount.

This is OEM

This is Air Runner

Thanks for posting those pictures, very helpful. With there rear kit, will the stock isolators hold up? It looks like the rod and spring forces go directly through the stock rubber isolators in the rear? From what I understand, the stock suspension setup, allows spring and rod forces to be seperate. I assume they have run durability testing on that design but I just wanted to ask the question. Why did they go away from the OE front design on the upper? You are right though, the stuff looks very, very nice.

I think they made the change so they could utilize the upgraded KYB units that they put on all their kits. I am not sure if there is a upgraded shock/strut for the OE configuration yet.

Without seeing the stock rear I am not sure about the second question.

Iansane · 04-15-2010, 07:27 AM

It appears that you'd have to cut off the OE coil spring land from the rear upper bracket...hmmm. I didn't notice that at first. Is Air Lift and Air Runner the only ones in the game right now??? I'd be suprised if Ride-Tech was cookin something up.

Iansane · 04-15-2010, 07:29 AM

...wasn't cookin something up...guess that is why one should proof read before one posts

There are options for how you mount your tank. The inspare location one is called a pancake tank. I decided to mount a standard tank floating on the back of my trunk to allow access to my spare.
