In for comments as I would like to do this as well.

Looking at the Rocket Bunny Kit which looks really good low but still want it to be driveable as a daily basis and still wanna hit the track when I feel like it.
@kvl, first bagged 86 in Aus was just announced. Running on AccuAir. Same car as first turbo 86 in Aus by Tekno.

I think he may have meant height adjustable. Isn't the ones made by Tein (EDFC) pretty much the same as the ones in this link?

Just about finished on my airlift strut/autopilot v2 setup on my brz. Haven't driven it yet so I will report back. l have been testing the lines amongst other things this week and taking my time on the build.

AccuAir is just an Air management, you can have Airrex strut with AccuAir or the own Air management system or even V2 from Airlift, i think.

I am the owner of the AirREX FR-S in Hawaii that tracks it at SCCA. I just wanted to let you know that although the main company is in Taiwan, the USA distributor that you would deal with is here in Hawaii and I believe they have other distributors in the mainland you can talk to. I'll have the guy who's handling it post up more info for you.

The one conclusion we have all come down to is that this car is amazingly engineered and no matter what you choose, coilovers or air, the ride quality is still pretty amazing. At ride height with my shocks at full soft, my car rides like almost like stock. When I took it to SCCA i raised it a little and turned up the dampening on the shocks to get a stiffer feel. The only real downside, if you want to call it that, is the endless possibilities of adjustment.

As much as people talk about the weight gain from the air setup, it really isn't even that much. If weight mattered to me that much, my car would be stripped and have only one seat. Plus I could lose a few pounds myself lol. Air suspension has come a long way and most hatters are just stuck in the past. Just do whats going to make you happy, cause this setup sure makes me happy haha.

This is a link to the airsoeicty feature on the airREX race car.

Will do man. Pretty much just finished about everything. Gave myself a few days to test for air leaks and make sure the lines were all set. I'm finally taking it for a spin tomorrow. Need to set up an appointment for an alignment as well.

Someone mentioned airlift not selling kits for the frs, it's because they literally just came out. If I'm not mistaken i think I might be the first to even have them outside of the few testers. They retail 995 for the fronts, 995 for the rear. If your seriously interested let me know and I can point you to the right people to talk to.

The kit comes with the air struts, leader lines, nylon hose, and new adjustable end links.

So far I'm really digging this autopilot v2 system. I still haven't figured out my ride height but the controller is easy to use and being able to see what psi is in each bag and your pressure in the tank is awesome. With accuair elevel there's no gauges. If anyone else has any questions ill do my best to Answer them.

I wish I knew someone with air in LA that could let me drive their car through Topanga or Malibu canyon (conservatively). I really want to feel it out before I pull the trigger. I am 60/40 split air vs. coilovers. Another downside is that I may lose the trunk space but I don't fold my seats down that often anyways.
