in comparison, the d2 setup is using paddle valves. paddle valves are a very simple form of valve and have been around for ages. whereas the ksport kit is using momentary switches or rocker switches for height adjustment. the bags themselves look to be the same between the two kits. the management setup for either kit is very very basic and it does not specify if the components are DOT approved. components being the fittings and air line. fittings that are not DOT approved have a tendency to leak and most times they end up leaking. if you're willing to spend that kind of money on an air suspension then do yourself a favor and buy DOT fittings. a DOT fitting has an inner crush seal that eliminates air from escaping through the fitting. most of these DOT fittings can be sourced via an industrial pipe fitting store, air brake supplier or diesel technician. i'm interested to see some feedback on the d2 and ksport kit.

wow, i would have expected at least some sort of PTC fitting. for the amount of money k-sport wants for that kit and what you receive is absurd. there are other solutions out there which are less expensive and have much better quality components.

Thanks for the plug vwynn.
My price for the KSport kits are WAYYY below the msrp and there is not one thing that needs to be modified for a proper installation. Install the strut/bag combo just like you are installing a new set of coilovers - it comes with the top hats - and run lines/wire up everything and you're done. A little more time consuming than it sounds, but with the price my kits go for, you can upgrade the kit for days before you reach AirRunner (basic system) pricing.
PM me for pricing

I will be ordering D2 air suspension shortly, D2 east coast's distributor is like 30 minutes from my house so that's the reason why I went with them, if some kind or if any defects were to happen I wouldn't have that much downtime, I'll keep you guys posted on how D2s will go..
