dude u dont need to buy the airrunner kit, its not worth it and it costs way too much, EasyStreet's setup is dope, i have it on my car, everything bolts on with no problems, they have a universal air strut that will fit but i think u have to do a lil fab on it, also if u know someone whos really good with bags and knows what they are doin, u can take ur stock strut and fab a bag to it, just like easystreet but u dont have to buy it already done, but i recommend that you go with the EasyStreet setup, i spent, 250 for the back setup, 500 for the front struts, and valves, tank, compressor, ect, i bought from different places, i spend total about 1300 for my whole setup and my install was only 350 cause there was no Fab Work that had to be done, if u wanna know more just e-mail me or something, or im me my s/n is LayedOutScion08@aol.com later dog....

I did my set up on a rs2.0back in feburary of this year... I didn't like airrunners kit or FBI...I went with Uniair struts out of sol cali...and had no problems..at all..spent nothing my friend invented the kit years ago..I bought the first xb in lat 03 and did the air ride back the and protyped the kit...and then bought the rs2.0 and had to bag that one too..

The Easy Street front set up works best as well, bolts right in with no fab needed. Know how to get around any problems and you are set, I think EasyStreet has started to fix their problems and have fixed em.
My 2 cents, don't do FBSS, for such a flexible car and unibody, FBSS could damage the frame or whatever you wanna call it on this car.
Part everything piece by piece and you will spend at least half the cost on bagging it compared to what air runner would cost you.
The way I see Air Runner, is like buying a super fast computer through Dell with unknown computer parts inside it. Where you can buy the parts piece by piece for a lot cheaper that are well known through MANY people that do air suspension set ups.
Just my 2 cents.

^ very well agreed; side to side isnt so important; piecing together saves money; and i might even change over to the fBI setup as well for the rear; though no real problems w/easystreet yet: theyve done an absoloutley fantastic job of fixing any mistakes w/me
