i know some of you guys on here may not like the idea of air bagging this car, but after looking at the other options of lowering it seems that thats my best bet. i thought about coilovers but they are to pricey and still will be tough to adjust and keep that way( ive had them before,nissan) i thought about springs but, they are a specific height thats it. no twerking it. so i looked into air ride suspension kits and found ksport has a complete setup and its not that pricey. around 2500.00 .cheaper on ebay. i read some reviews and people seem to be extremely happy with their air ride systems. its a slow up and slow down. only front and back. lmk what you guys think and if any of you already have this lmk how you like it. thanks

you say coilovers are pricey but yet air isnt too pricey?

i havent really heard much about ksport air but for 2500 to only have 4 valves (front to back) is pretty expensive imo. you can do uas for about the same price and have a fbss kit. also im not sure if ksport is a direct bolt in which means you have to modify your rear struts. the only bolt on kit i believe is air runner. i could be wrong though.

I'd go UAS, Air runner I hear is great cause it just bolts on and it's a whole complete kit however the price is ridiculous.

johnnunez2

Where do you get uas? Or what's the website? This sport system is 2300.00 on eBay. Is like to do fbss. But not fast like I'm used to seeing. I want it to have a limit. The website says sport is bolt on. No modification.

You will need the brackets that go on top of the strut mount but that comes in the kit. No mod needed Iv been talking to Zach at UAS. He will give you all the info you need.

Also just for your info you can use your stock shocks or buy aftermarket to use with the bags. I was told that the stock shock are a better ride and go lower. But they blow quicker too, shocks that is.

Sorry I dont know much about Ksport. If I get air Im going with UAS.

johnnunez2

so i looked it up and called them. im a bit confused. so the actual airbag gets hooked up to the stock(or aftermarket) shock, and thats how it works? i thought it was like a set of four shocks with bags on them that come that way. do you know if theyre system is long lasting. the bags is what im mainly concerned with. i also do not read on their listings anything about the switches. ive been wanting air bags for years now. this is the chance and i want to get it right. and to ixi18 , i mean that coilovers are pricey for what they do. its basically 1k more to get a whole air system.( maybe more )

johnnunez2

oops, just saw that it comes with a 9 switch hand held box. sounds 1,00000000 times better than a huge ghetto box in the middle of a lexus

Yes it comes with the switches. Yes the spring comes off your stock or aftermarket shocks and the bag slips on.

People say UAS is a good system as long as you buy everything new...besides the shocks you use.

Im in the same place as you man. Been wanting air for a while but am having a hard time pulling the trigger.

johnnunez2

pull it. so if something goes wrong i wont be alone.lmfao. j/k. im just waiting on some monies thats coming in , in the next couple of weeks. if its good i want it. sounds better than k sport.

There are tons of people on UAS bags they have been around for years and come along way with the technology. People like the Airrunner system cause they give you the whole strut bagged up and the everything you need to put it on but I have heard that some of the lines and fittings arent the best quality and pretty basic for the ridiculous money that it cost for the system. Of course anyone that has Airrunner is going to swear its the best to rationalize the steep price that they paid for it. I would personally go with the UAS set up!

johnnunez2

thanks lkapimp. and thanks chancelor. i guess i will go with uas. ill just do some more research.

what does fbss stand for and what does it do?

johnnunez2

stands for and does front back and side to side.well, there goes the idea of 22's. 20's it is.

you can get a nice set of coils for that $$ and drive low ALL the time. I hear the ride is horrible with bags anyway. Just drop it and take the chance we all do everyday

johnnunez2

i hear the complete opposite. i would suppose the ride on air has to be smooth. i dont like the idea of riding low like that all the time. id much rather be able to pull into high parking lots. ive had my share of dropped cars. i even lost a front bumper bodykit once for being too low. well, i was low but the parking lot killed me. my only problem now is where to stick my sub?
