Default Air ride setup in Southern California?

Hi all,

Anyone know (or recommend) any good shop in Southern California to install air suspension for XB's?

If you have air ride setup in your XB and you live in Southern Cali, where did you get it done at? Any recommendations on where I can get mine done? I would appreciate all your suggestions.

Thanks!

The few Airrunner systems I've seen installed have all been in the trunk area. Definitely give Autofashion a call if you're interested in Airrunner. They've probably installed more Airrunner systems in xBs than anyone else in the country.

If you aren't hung up on getting an Air Runner (manual) suspension, you can always go the custom, or even Airlift route. There have been tons of posts about it around here. Any good custom suspension shop could do the install for you. Just find a shop that sells Airlift products. If you find one that sells FBI stuff as well, it will be even better.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm just trying to find a good shop around here. San Diego (AutoFashion) is a bit far (I live in Los Angeles), but I may go there if I have to.

I'm still doing my research, so any more input will be great!

I'd diffently consider the airrunner kit if you can get to Autofashion to install it. When they do the install for basically free it becomes a much better deal.

If you are just wanting to know a good suspension shop you can always contact Devious Customs. They are located in Ontario. I know they can do pretty good work, and your install should be really straight forward. They could do a bolt on xB install in their sleep. I have no idea how soon they could get you in though.

I have seen Aaron's work in person and it was pretty impressive. Of course all I have seen of his have been sitting displays of his talent. I have never personally seen anything he built that drives around.

I had heard he used to work at Chassis Tech/AIM. Does any one know if this is true?

I remember this shop. They installed my coil kit on my accord. They're located in Glendale off Colorado. They did a good job on my part.

i live around la and i drove down to autofashion for my airrunner. it may be far but when you pick up your car and drive it home, you get a special feeling... you know the kind of feeling you get when your car has a dope problem free air suspension that was installed by professionals. i would not hesitate to leave my car in the hands of autofashion regardless of distance.

Master Image Customs, lol. If you really want someone in the OC I would recommend GO-EZ Customs. The guy who owns that shop is the guy who used to be the lead fabricator at MIC. Back when the name kind of meant something. (I never really cared for the shop at all, if you couldn't tell.) They are located in Pacentia.

Ya MIC charge way too much in my opinion. They quoted me $3500 for the Easystreet setup installed, but it has a lifetime installation warranty. Goez quoted me $3800 for the Easystreet with a 1 year installation warranty.

I also found a place in Whittier, Kustom Kreation; they specialize in airbags and wheels. They quoted me $2000 for universal airbags installed
