Air Suspension- Accuair vs. Airlift

Hello! I'm currently looking into an air suspension system for my G (don't start the "don't do bags" stuff, I've heard it enough and it won't do anything). I've been a huge fan of Accuair for probably a year now, and have always had this thought in my head that if I could ever run bags, it would be Accuair.

I've heard more and more about Airlift recently, and it's something that's sparked an interest in me. I don't want to be closed-minded with systems, because I want to get the right setup.

I know there are pros and cons to both, but I'm just looking at an idea of why one would run Accuair over Airlift, or vice versa. I love the E-Level system Accuair offers, and that would be the kit I would run from them.

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with either brand, and could offer some input to either side?

Thanks in advance!

These kits usually have a "ride height" in which you initially align the car to. This is really the only level you should be driving distances on. You want to crawl around the parking lot at a "low height", or get over speed bumps at "full height", but the set ride height is what you align the car to. When you hit that button, it should return to the ride height level and alignment should be fine.

The problem is when you adjust the "ride height" setting, and don't realign the car...


To the OP - I ran accuair after the same debate. It has a more accurate manifold, and uses those level sensors rather than a PSI based system, which can vary depending on weight, weather, and other variables. I liked that my Accuair was a "living, breathing" system constantly watching and making adjustments. Worth the extra money.
