This is the beauty of being on all air suspension.
Running Airlift 3H management is fantastic. 5 height presets to choose from. Max height which is running little over 100psi per bag, or all aired out as shown in the 2 examples in the picture. I tend to run it 75psi for daily driving and if I want a lower ride height of 65psi. Then I have 2 low settings but not what I would drive on. I'll give you my complete review on the Airrex suspension and Airlift management with some detailed pictures soon, but in a nutshell it does everything I wanted and more. The handling is fantastic. The ride is phenomenal. Its way better than stock and on par with the KW V3 for performance, if anything I have more confidence in the bends (something we have alot of here in the UK ) |

Very interested to hear your review. I've heard a lot of good things about air suspension but my primary concern would be ride quality since the wife and I do a lot of road trips.

Yup, 3rd Gen Airrex struts with new pearl white finish.
Triple Bellow bags. Upper mount is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum. High density polyurethane bushings and high performance bearings. Fully threaded 12 click adjustable dampers. Just like a coilover set up Airrex struts can be user adjusted for maximum drop or maximum comfort at driving height by simply loosening the lower lock collar and turning the damper + air spring assembly up or down. Can not fault the quality of the bags or the struts. The instructions are lame, we converted front and rear lines to 3/8" fitment with braided hoses which you'll see later. |

Wow! Great review -Thank you!
I'm not likely to step up to the Airrex system, but it sounds like the KW V3s with non-RFTs could be my next investment. |

Yeah I think the Airrrex system is probably close to double the cost of the KW setup. I'm sure some of you have some personal experiences with regards to cost.

Thanks for taking the time to write that review. The insight was exactly what I needed to make a decision. I'm in Cali. and I know you're over seas but any recommendations on who I should give my business to in going with the Airrex and airlift 3H setup?

X5_MSPORT if I remember correctly you are running the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti on 22s correct? If so can I get your opinion on how they perform? I'm looking into something to replace my Pirellis which have been somewhat of a disappointment to me

Airrex Gen3 struts are around $3100 Airlift 3H Management with 4 gal tank, dual compressors and harness around $2200-$2400 Installation, is depending on what your criteria is. Mine was to be stealth as possible. I've lost about 5% of my trunk space, the rest is hidden. But anywhere from $1500 for basic install to around $5000+ for an ultra bespoke install. Quote:

Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport RFT: Never again! Pirelli P-Zero RFT: They feel great for a RFT, no way near as jarring as other RFT (although with air suspension I feel I have a small advantage over coil springs) Pirelli Scorpion Non-RFT: Decent, but there little on the noisy side. Grip is OK but for all season tyre I found wet grip to be poor. Its a 10 year old tyre design, other tyre manufactures have improved compounds to a noticeable degree in that time. Continental Sportcontact 6: Ultra grippy, extremely quiet and smooth. These tyres actually come with a warning that they are ultra pliable rubber. They look awesome too with extra rim protection |
