- Accuair eLevel air management system with rocker control - If you're unfamiliar with air suspension setups, Accuair is the top of the line in terms of air suspensions & is a no touch, sensor controlled system. The system is calibrated to the car with three different heights: Low, ride height & high. The system uses sensors to constantly monitor the height of the car based on the selected setting and automatically increases or decreases the air pressure to the bags based on the weight in the car in order to maintain its correct height. No manual adjustment is ever needed unless you choose to do so. If you park the car then "air out" the car will automatically return to ride height once you restart the car.
