I know people with Air Runner, UAS Bags/E Level, Air Rex/ E Level. None of them have complaints that I've seen. These are all Lexus vehicles. It's price that steers people in different ways.

Don't see many AWD owners on bags; is there a reason? I know lowered static owners end up having half-shaft issues. Could the same be said on bags, even when being completely slammed would be at a dead-stop?

There are a handfull of AWDs on bags but I don't think its an AWD thing. I just think most people on bags are in an area where RWD is the dominant car available. I.E there aren't a lot of people in the north east on bags. Its usually FL or CA where you find most IS people on bags.

If not its usually the GS VIP scene

Cups don't lower enough.

Which kit? Bagriders puts together several different kits with different bags/management systems and basically let you mix and match pretty much every single component. They are just a retailer, and don't actually manufacture the bags. I dealt with them with my air setup and they were nothing short of fantastic.

I hear a lot of problems with e-level. I've thought about going v2 because of it.
