It does only have 3 height settings currently but they are working on this to and will get 4 or 5 heights soon (reflash ECU) you can also manually raise/lower the front,rear and each side seperatly as needed
Guys I have the AccuAir system as supplied in the full AirbagMan kit. Mine is 2 yrs old so maybe there are newer models, but it has 3 preset settings which you can make any height you like between min and max, plus a dump all function (bumpstops), plus the ability to adjust each corner up and down individually.
It also can self level (startup and/or continually) or you can turn these actions off which I do, as I find it annoying.
Never had any issues whatsoever with it.
The AB Man kit incl. AccuAir is excellent - I recommend it. Bruce Davis in Annagrove Sydney installed mine and they are a great team to work with.
Heard good things about the Accuair too.Quote:

Have you engineered it yet?
The adjust each corner individually function is this only with handbrake on?
The AB Man kit is an engineered system.
I have earthed the handbrake sensor so I can adjust on the fly for Off-Road trail use ;)
If anyone needs any advice or experience accounts of the set up, welcome to PM me.
All the best, Gav
When you say its an engineered system does that mean an engineer built it or approved it, and if approved is this just in QLD or Nationwide?Quote:

The Accuair doesnt auto drop down, or i would be going that route.
Also must have visual warning lights if there is a problem with the system which I believe both systems have.
As blackrangie has suggested, the Air Bag Man (ABM) system may have been designed by an engineer and certified on a vehicle by an engineer. However I would be checking with ABM to see if the kit comes with an engineers certificate for your vehicle.
I know that in NSW, there are no type approvals for suspension or brake modifications so every vehicle has to be individually certified by an engineer who is an RMS authorised signatory.
Thanks for that much appreciatedQuote:

I also worked a solution with LRA and Airbagman to auto drop the Accuair system to level 2 at a certain speed, PM me for details.
