Default your word on the Ksport air suspension kit?

So I have Tanabe DF210 running 20 x 10 privats with a 245/35/20 tire size. I want to go lower. And I would love to be able to lower my car, and raise my car. I decided I will be doing an Air suspension kit on my 2GS300. I want to keep it under 3,500. I looked online and I saw the KSport Airtech Pro for about 3,200. Is this a good setup to run for my car? Reliable?

Please be advised that the kit names have changed, you'd have a hard time finding a pro-kit for the prices you are saying.

Regardless, I've had mine for 2 years now and love it to death. PM me with any questions.

i like mine. been reliable for me. Of course my management system aint ksport but its still a nice setup.

just a note.. when installing your kit do yourself a favor and shorten the fronts all the way and the backs leave about maybe half and inch or 3/4 of thread left. Just saying

enjoy

Do u know when u lower a ride it butterflys the tires do u know if that happens with air suspension? It looks like the wheels are same alignment as regular height? Looks like air suspension doesnt make tires butterfly is that true?

I spent just under 4k for my setup and it is awesome. Similiar to Ksport kit, its the D2 air kit but combined with ridetech airpod. Full Front, Back, Side to Side control and all you have to do to install it is run 4 airlines to each bag and run three wires for power, ground and ignition. Everything comes mounted, tested and ready to go. Installation is a breeze. PM me for more info, prices etc.

bags has nothing to do with the tires "butterfly-ing"
that is an alignment issue because the alignment is off.
u just need to align your car to the desired ride height u drive at. then every time u drive, your alignment is good and so tire wear will be good as well
