Default Went to pick up my Lex. came home with this.
Well my car was supposed to be done today but unfortunately ran into a bit of a problem. The air tank which came with my ksport kit had a leak in it. Looks like it will be a couple more days till I get my ride back. Since the owner of the shop is such a nice guy "not to mention one of my friends" he let me take one of his rides to use for the next couple of days. Could of been worse at least it not a kia....

nice loaner, epic fail gas consumption.

how did your tank have a leak? did they use atleast 5 rounds of teflon on each fitting?

The leak was around one of the welds on the tank. When we had about 10 lbs. in it you can hear the air coming from around the weld on the bottom.

yup not to happy about it. we just ordered a new tank from another company. Dont see how they let a tank with a leak get by.. You would think they would have to go through some kind of pressure test .

You would also think people would know by now that K-Sport has 0 quality control.

Dont get me wrong everything eles in the kit seems up to par. I guess from time to time things like this happen.

Why did you buy a new tank somewhere else? They have to warranty it

Good price though. And doesn't it sit lower than UAS? If I was to go air suspension route, I would buy the K-sport and use the rest on a nice set of BBK..
