Air Ride Suspension: Need Advice
Hello all, i have a 02 GS300 and have been wanting to add an airide system. Airrunner and Canover seem to be the best for vip style cars but a little to expensive. I am a DIYer so me and my friend would install this ourselves. So far i am looking at these for the air struts:

they look very similiar to Airunner and should ride very smoothly , they also have a 9 way dampner adjust meant for the shock. the rest of the system i will peice together. i am probally going to run an engine driven compressor for plenty of air and no noise, dont know where to mount the tank yet.
Basically im posting this to hear peoples expeicances and opinions have done many searches just looking for more specfic info. thanks!

I'm very familiar with East Street products, I'm actually running their Auto Pilot system with the Chapman struts. The only problem you are going to encounter will be the rear wheel wells, space is very limited between the strut and the actually body of the car. I have talked briefly with Jim (tech @ Easy Street) at SEMA, and we are tryin to come up with a spacer option to put on the top part of the strut so the bag will mount lower where there is more room.
I have seen these new struts in person and the quality is top notch from what I can see.

I modified the ashtray to hide my digital controller.
Here's a pic of the rear strut, I still have to pull it out so I can grind the welds and paint it.
Pic of the front.

There are some new compressors out by Air-Zenith that seems to be really good, one of these out does 2 Viars 450s and its is 100% duty cycle at 200psi, and they are only $280 shipped, so one of these should be fine for what i want to do, thanks!
