1. Since there are many products out in the market nowadays, which brand/type would you use?
2. Would you consider suspension cups (ie. Phantom)?
3. For daily driving which brand or combination of brands would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.
I also am looking to do it right the first time. I am currently on LP's and was going to go with uas bags. As I hear the rears need modifications....is this a good route to go or should I sell the LP's. Also any info on air line size and compressor recommendations... things like adding a circuit breaker. Just any info for a noobie to air would help.

I have no issues with my airsetup and driving on a daily basis. I'm running D2 air setup with ridetech management with level sensors. If you were going air I would stick with D2, Airrex, K-sport, airforce and if you an swing it air runner. For management I would definitely do ridetech over accuair but accuair is very good too.

going the UAS route is the most cost effective way of bagging your car. The rear can be done in a day. I would go with 2 400cc compressors as with the 444 have a higher failure rate. I would go with the accuair wire kit straight forward and comes with a in line fuse. Any management will work air lift Accuair or Air rex. Air rex is the simplest and easiest to install since it 4 lines ground and power. Air line size effect the speed of up and down most go with 3/8 line which is a smooth transition between 1/4 and 1/2.
