    That's the only complaint I have about going on Air. It cost me exactly 3k which includes installation. I've always wanted to be on air and now that I am, I can't believe I did not do this sooner. It's definitely an investment but now that I got to experience it, I think it's worth every cent. ;)

    Air Rid Equipment performed the installation and they offer life time warranty for their installs.

    Awesome! I need to start saving! I had air cylinders years ago I guess before bags were an option for cars I believe anyways. It was sweet being dropped but I had issues with leaking and the compressor was loud as crap and it would run even after lowering once and raising back up. Anxious to see how better it all I'd now ah days!

    It's definitely way better now. With the digital air management you can set the compressors to run once it reaches a certain PSI so it doesn't run all the time. One thing I was worried about was when I park and I'm aired out, my wife might grab my keys and try to drive off but with the Airlift V2 (also Accuair I believe) there is a feature called "Rise on Start" which is awesome. What it does it once someone starts your car and you're aired out, the car will automatically rise or air up to drive height. I love it because you have peace of mind. (y)

    Coming from old school type air suspensions, I always thought they were better. Back in the day, there was no compressor with the car. You had to make your weekly trip to the gas station to adjust as necessary.

    The Lexus CT is my wife's car and all it has is lowering springs. Everything else is stock. ;)

    I took my car to the dealer today for a noise in the front left wheel area. Sounds like a squeaky creaky noise. Like a dry balljoint or strut.

    I got a loaner 2016 Corolla. It's showing 29mpg indicated. POOR! Feels more solid than the prius but the prius feels more composed.. if that makes sense. Corolla feels nervous. nervous and solid.

    In all honesty, I'm guilty of it too. Pretty much every time I walk out to the car when it's parked, I'm pretty blown away that it's a Prius.

    Decided to save $40 on install and do it myself while here. Charcoal cabin filter replacement.
