just 2 quick questions... is the AirLift (manual kit) from ecs tuning a good starter kit, seems good for the price?? and I also see that some of you guys use the Airlift kit with the Accuair e-level switch, just looking to just go up and down.. nothing crazy just a simple basic setup
Well they all go up and down. The biggest thing you're gonna hear about choosing your set up is not to be cheap. Air ride isn't gonna be cheap, but do it right. I would honestly stay away from a manual setup. If you're looking for a cheaper, but quality management, you should consider Accuair Switchspeed. e-Level is gonna be your most expensive, but imo, the best and most practical. The benefit to going with Switchspeed is that it easy to use your controller, and eventually when you have more money, you can easily upgrade to e-Level.
Another option that most people go with is V2. What's attractive about V2 is all the options you have, the ability to have presets (just like e-Level), and of course the price. I tend not to suggest V2, but to be fair I have heard good stories about V2 just as much as I've heard bad stories.
Do more research. Don't jump to a decision and decide on a kit based on the cheapest price. Check out sites like: ORT, Bagrides, Underwraps Automotive, Urotuning, and many others.
I currently have Airlift Performance fronts, Airlift Double Bellow rear bags, and e-Level. Love it.
