uses the stock or after market shock basically takes place of the springs. heard good and bad. seen that they dont go as low as you think. with a price tag of 2500 plus, might as well save up and get the airrunner kit. worth the money bud.

Another thing to keep in mind is airrunners are complete bolt on and universal requires some minor fabrication.

I have the UAS bags on my car with OEM struts. They are very reliable and dump the car as low as the air runner kit. The front struts require no fabrication at all, the rear ones you do have to cut off some places on the OEM top mount.

The ride is soft, as stock. It doesn't feel bouncy or anything like that.

From what UAS said, you even use these bags with coilovers... Here's a picture UAS sent me using coil overs.

How high is the car when it is driven? Do you have pictures of the car at its lowest?

Thanks.
