Air Runners or Rims

I cant decide weather to do air runners or rims. What do you guys think. I know rims is the cheaper option but i only have enough to do one.

if you already have coilovers, then buy some wheels

if you don't have a drop, then buy some coilovers and some wheels

if you have wheels, then get air runners

Well since i cant make up my mind maybe ill just do the air runner install myself and use the money that it would have costed me to buy wheels. lol. They dont have the air runner kits in the US so it will take 3 to 5 weeks to have them shipped from Japan to here. Just needed some push on what to get.

there is no kit for the acura tl itself but you can use the tsx kit and accord kit which i beileve is a bolt on. The tsx kit needs some modifications.

Are you guys getting a good deal on AirRunners? I'm interested in them also, but $4k plus accessories and installation is pretty steep.

BTW, I vote to get the AirRunners.

ok so the kit i purchased comes with the analog gauges and the ride control height switches. Should i buy the digital quad air pressure gauge? Also where would be a good place to mount the switches and the gauges either the analog or digital.

I think your drop is just perfect. And looks great with the stock wheels. I say invest the 4K in something to make you money for later on. Like a long term CD or something. If I had to pick, I'd say rims better...but otherwise I think the stance of your car is perfect as is.

I say get the digital pressure gauge... and mount it in the upper cubby compartment (if it fits) in the center console under the radio...

I was thinking of putting the four switches in there to control each bag.
