Do you have anymore pictures of the Kuda mount and how your airlift controller mounts to it?

I'm interested in purchasing one but their website is pretty vague and only has one picture.

I'm wondering if the autopilot v2 controller will mount to it or if it's too small and would look weird. Lol

Any particular angle you want to see on the Kuda mount? My Airlift controller is currently mounted via velco by installer. The radius on the mount is tight to drill holes to mount the Airlift controller but will try to figure something out as I don't want the sticky residue it will create in the summer heat.

What is the measurement of your Autopilot V2 controller so I can do a quick comparison.

Ahhhhh okay. I thought you had yours mounted with the hardware they show in their videos that clips on or whatever.

I guess my concern was if the controller would be too small for the hardware, bc its only about 3in x 3in. Wonder if it'll look weird.

Nah, their accessory mounts are pricey if not the same price as their main mount.

Gotcha. I may just go with the proclip then. It mounts essentially in the same location, just doesn't have the fancy leather. Lol

Man, if you only knew what I'm going through with these wheels, lol.

I bought them used and I sent 2 of them to a reputable powdercoating shop in NJ for new lips/barrels in March of 2016.

After a ton of e-mails and Instagram messages, and some negligence on my part, they finally get back to me a year later saying they are not finished and only have the faces.

So needless to say, I'm getting the faces shipped back to me and getting them done locally. Still debating on a color, but I really really like this combo:

Is it more like a copper color or a blood orange color? What specs are those? Sorry to hear about your mishaps, hope things will get better soon!

Lips are brushed aluminum copper, centers are brushed aluminum dark copper. Not too sure the specs of those, I got the picture from the WCI IG page. My wheels are AG F240.

Kind of like the all gold too. These are my wheels in all gold;

dang nice kenny! I am currently enjoying my fat tire life with my really sporty pirelli tires haha, but I have my AIMS in my garage incase I feel like going stance again.
Julius, how are you liking the 3p/3h I have been wanting to upgrade to it. When you air up. does it go to the correct height first try? My autopilot v2 has to go 120 or above or it doesnt go to the correct height right away.

Airlift 3P is okay, can't really say anything as this the only air management I've ever delt with. Yes when I air up it goes straight to my drive height everytime all the time. The main reason for getting the 3P so that I could run it with the height sensors but it's not calibrated correctly, I should have it all fixed by mid March.

Thanks dudes, can't wait for them to be done! And dang I just upgraded to autopilot v2, don't tell me yours is having problems. Although I'm upgrading from a manual 2-switch setup, so I'm sure it's worlds better than that.

Yas! Got my height sensors calibrated with a simple height sensor rod tightening and putting the car in neural and hand brake off when calibrating with the Airlift 3P/3H system. I read the manual this morning and I read nothing about putting the car in neural and hand brake off before calibration, I don't know if they really helps but it works. Planning to relocate the height sensors to make room for them 10" wide wheels.

Sweet man! Can't wait to see what wheels you went with!


I pick my car up today from the shop. Replaced all lines with 3/8 and upgraded to autopilot v2 from manual 2-switch.

Also swapped my steel tank with an aluminum. Pretty stoked to get it back

Dude the difference in speed is crazy, lol. I'll post a video for you either today or tomorrow.

One issue they ran across though was setting up the presets. According to them, the presets wouldn't register since I don't have airlift struts.

The ones I have require about 120-130 psi up front to be fully aired up, and they said air lift struts only require about 80-90 psi so the system wouldn't save the settings.

Idk if it's true but whatever. I'll use manual mode for now and upgrade my struts eventually.

Yeah I bet the speed of the air up and down is very dramatic.

What air struts are you running now?

TruHart

They rode great when I first installed them last year. But improper maintenance and New England weather has taken it's toll on them.

My original setup did not include any water traps and the guys who originally installed it did a shitty job & didn't show me how to drain tank/didn't even know I had to.

This resulted in frozen/rusty water in the tank... which I'm sure flowed through the lines into the struts. So I replaced all lines, tank, put in a self draining water trap, and relocated everything to the spare tire well.

In for pics of your spare tire well setup as I am thinking of going to that route later in the year. Yeah air ride is still new to me and I am still trying to figure things out. One tip I got is to add air tool oil to lubricate the valves in the manifold twice a year. Will be performing this maintenance soon!
