Product details
Kia's 2016 to 2018 Optima (LF chassis) gets the Executive treatment from this Airtech kit: four ride-height sensors, automatic leveling and a four-corner electronic control unit. If the car carries passengers or luggage some days and runs light on others, the sensors help hold the height you set.
Everything is handled from a full-color OLED remote showing tank and bag pressure at each corner, with a backup remote and vehicle charger included. Struts offer 36-way damping with adjustable lower mounts, and the bags are matched to the car. Also in the box are a 5-gallon lightweight tank on a carpeted board, one Viair 444C compressor, a 165 to 200 psi pressure switch, two 30 A relays, 25 m of 1/4 in air line, 1 m of 10 mm line, power wire and a tool kit with spanner wrenches, damping knobs and brake-line brackets. The page lists the Hyundai Sonata LF as compatible as well. Use the fitment checker for your car.
Supported features
The OLED color-screen remote displays tank and bag pressure at all four corners and charges from the included vehicle charger. A standard 4-button backup remote is included.

Sleeve-type and double-bellow bags engineered to match the vehicle and its OEM suspension design.
Fine-tune ride height at any pressure through the adjustable lower mount.
One VIAIR 444C compressor, a 165–200 psi pressure switch and two 30 A relays are included. Raise time depends on the vehicle, plumbing, pressure and installation.
