Airlift 3H + airlift air strut. Made in USA with lifetime warranty
or
accuair e-level paired with airrex strut <--- most popular setup i think

edit:
im running airlift 3H with d2 airbags. I love it!

My vote goes for the Airlift 3H Management
As far as struts go, I'd say Airrex, but that's preference based.

I agree with the others on air managment Airlift 3H Management. For bags id go with either Airlift performance bag kit or go with universal suspension aero sport bags on coilovers of your choice. Ive been running airlift autopilot v2 with aero sport bags and bc coils for 2 year and about 40,000 miles and havent had any problems.

I agree I just ordered my Airlift 3P Management and if you have the money go airlift performance. If you go on coils over bags, you do have to send your rear coilovers to UAS so they can convert it so it can fit. I'm running megan racing over UAS I really like the ride and how low it gets but to get to that point, the hassle was too much

Bagriders has function form coilovers converted with uas bags on their site to save the hassle.

Bagriders helped me out a lot. I went with airlift struts and currently I have airrex digital and love it but eventually going to either accuair elevel or airlift 3h. The uas bag over bc coils is a popular setup that people recommend.

If only I knew... but itsok they were only half an hour away from me. I agree with bagriders though they were really kind and helpful when it came to ordering parts from them.

I would definitely go with the airlift 3H management if I had the cash. As for struts that may be a personal preference sort of thing. I've heard air force are decent if your trying to save a little. But If it was up to me, I'd go airlift all around.

The one advantage id say bags over coils has is you can get a spare aero sport bag for like $250 so if somehow you poped a bag you can just slap in the replacement with minimal down time. The integrated bag setups i think would require you to send them in.
