What is it?
Remote Air Command
Why you need it.
You want to remotely increase or decrease the pressure in your car’s air springs from up to 50 feet away.
Description
The Remote Air Command is designed to work with Firestone’s air helper springs to remotely increase or decrease the air pressure, allowing drag racers to adjust psi settings in search of a better launch. Because the air pressure can be adjusted from up to 50 feet away, racers can immediately dial in different amounts of pressure and get back to the track quicker. The system includes a Standard Duty air compressor, an improved rechargeable remote, three memory settings (great for standard load situations), an electronic interface, and sealed components.
Applications
All Firestone air spring kits
