Default Coilovers + bags: DIY?

I have heard how people have converted their coilover setup to accomodate airbags... any of you guys know more about this setup?

Lot of guys in the 2gs forums run that setup. Check the UAS kits

People do it due to the reasons of the coilovers having a shorter stroke shock so that it can accomodate the shorter stroke bag (ie: UAS). However, if you want to use UAS bags, you will need to find a shock pressure tube diameter of 2.14" or less.

Tiens CS will work with it, and so does megan, k-sport, and D2...I believe JICs will work too, but not sure. I guess just measure it before you buy.

Another option is to buy shorter stroke shocks and combine it with the air bag, and your good to go. The bad thing with our 1gen GS, is that we dont have much available shorter stroke shocks, well none that I know of currently. Unless, you can use MK4 Supra KYBAGX shocks? OR Koni Yellows?

anyhoo..thats all I know, but I could be wrong

Hmmm.... I DO have K Sports.... in a nutshell all I want to do is a conversion from coilover to air using my coilover assemblies... anyone familiar with this setup?
