How's the ride on the system... Close to OEM or hard and stiff like and RX7 with an R2 package?

Without any air in the cups, ride quality is definitely not "OEM", but still very comfy. I'd say similar to Tein CS. This is from experience with riding in a SC. I believe there are some GS owners with this kit that can possibly chime in with their experiences.

For it's features & possible lower pricing, it hard to beat. It's hard to try out new name, but they have improved their design/features from the original model sold earlier last year. So that shows a lot from a fairly new name...

can you ride with the cups inflated or do you have to ride with them deflated and only inflate bags to go over bumps and what not

LuxuryMods

You can ride with air in these cups (not bags). The ride might be stiffer once the cups are inflated, but you can control/change the setup to your liking (ie height/dampening).

There have been some negative posts about this setup in the vendors for sale forum. Can you get some input from people who have actually used this?

LuxuryMods

iTrader: (30)

I welcome any users to comment on this kit. However, the kit they will be talking about is "version 1" so to speak...

These kits now are revised and offer different qualities from the previous kit.

I have spoken personally to the other GS owner with this kit, but he did not install it yet when we spoke last.

I added pictures of the kits in the first post. Thanks for your input!

I'm curious as to the specifications of the shock/spring. I'm not trying to be negative in any way. I would be very interested, but to me it seems like the only feature is in-car adjustable ride. For me, I would like to know what it has to offer as a performance coilover, or are we simply buying a 800$ coilover with a 2200$ cylinder setup?

Jacksonvp: Thank you for your very valid question. To answer what I can, the spring rates are as follows for the 2GS applications:

GS300: 17kg/mm front, 7.2kg/mm rear
GS4xx: 21kg/mm front, 7.2kg/mm rear

I will inquire with further coilover body specs from Air Force and respond when I receive an answer.

Please also keep in mind that the adjustable ride height is the most important feature of these kits for the price. These kits are intended for those who love to drive really low all the time and occasionally want to raise their car to save their front bumpers...

As far as having a track star setup, that is left to be seen from those who will put it to the test. We have a customer with a SC who ordered the kit with custom spring rates and takes it to the canyons fairly often. Hopefully I can get him to chime in with his input on the performance of the unit.

from the vid u posted of the SC..im hoping that it could go A LOT lower than that right?? u gotta post somethign that can lay the frame if u wanted to..thats what a lot of folks out there wanna get..jus thought id give my .02 cents

LuxuryMods

Yes, with the SC, the coilovers still had plenty of thread left to lower the car even more. This was a "conservative" height. It can easily go low enough to tuck all 4 corners...if you wanted to...

i think it still might be a LITTLE over priced..UAS is bout 2k and u get more switch options..may require a lil more work..but im sure a lot of people are thinkin the same thing when it comes to new products..gotta have some vouchers for it..hopefully this 2nd generation of air force works out..is it only one compressor? whats the tank size?

LuxuryMods

Tank = 5 gallons
Air hose = 1/4"

With the small size of the cups, there's no real need for a huge tank. But being a previous owner of a Hybrid UAS/CS combo myself, I know the urge to have lots of air stored up for playtime...So, the tank can obviously be upgraded later, same for the compressors if you choose...

Pricing can still be very attractive if we have a few buyers. As with all kits, its hard to get going at first, hopefully the few we've sold to will chime in...

I'm tempted to try these. Not sure if I'd rather drive low and park lower or drive low all the time with better handling. Gonna have to talk to LM tomorrow.
