I have not used the Ksport air suspension but the coilovers I have used, which the air suspension also uses, from them have been utter crap.
Rode like crap, shocks didn't last more than a year, perches and or adjustable bodies seized, not to their mention horrible customer support. They wouldn't even sort out a shipping/misorder issue from a former CL sponsor who sort of jumped ship. Part of the problem was that they misboxed the coilovers. I ordered coilovers for a 06+ GS430, got coils for a 06+GS300, which they assured me would still work, except the rear shocks in the box were quiet obviously NOT for a 06+ GS RWD.. they still would not fix the problem, the best they would do is offer me stocking jobber on a new set!? WTF?
a bunch of friends who also purchased Ksport products have ALL experienced similar products.
i'd either go with BC BR's with the UAS kit or Air Runners.
lots of guys seem to be running the BC/UAS setup with good results.
I just bought a set of BC's and plan to get a UAS kit in the summer.
good luck

i also suggest BC+UAS however the only good side to the Ksport kit is that it comes with full air management. the BC+UAS setup will require your piecing together a management kit to make it all work. the Ksport management is very primitive however. with BC+UAS you have the option to do anything with management (i.e. manual paddle, electronic valves, or accuair, etc).

i called UAS today, talked to Richard and was blown away by the knowledge, understanding and customer service I received. I asked a lot of technical questions and got not only an answer but a good understanding of why and how it should do one thing over another.
definitely going with UAS when i upgrade to bag!

You do have the option with our setup to purchase just the air shocks/bags or you can purchase a full kit with management included.

i have the parts just not installed. i bought the BC coils with stock spring rates. i will report back on the performance of the shocks w/UAS bags. i bought the coils from a third party brand new so i did not have a choice on custom valving for the bags. i feel they should suffice !
!im thinking of getting BC or megans
