Question Ksport or Air Runner?

Does anyone have any experience with either of these suspension systems?
Which would be the better way to go?

i've seen a couple k-sport installs on the web and haven't heard of any problems. i would still go airrunner in a heart beat, 110%.

I have the KSport Air suspension on my 2001 GS430 and couldn't be any more pleased with it. I have had zero problems and the adjustibility is great. I installed myself (with the help of a few buddies) and everything went pretty smooth. Time consuming, but smooth. It was the first time installing air for all of us.

Question

Hey Excluesive, I am curious what the ride quality is like. I have megan coilovers on my 99 LS and wanted to know how the ride compares between the two. If you happen to have experience with the megans I would love to hear your opinion on how they stack up against each other! Thanks buddy

I would set aside 2 days and a buddy to help you out if you've never done it before. It could be done in 1 day though.

I haven't driven in a car with megan's. I know that my friend enjoys them though. I don't know what the comparison is like though. The KSport air ride quality is awesome. I came from Tein HA's so I guess anything would be better, but it was WAYYY beyond my expectations.

Watch for KSport Group Buy special in the Vendor Section later today! I couldn't keep my username as my vendor name so check for Rides Low over there!
