Default Air Suspension

Hey guys I'm wondering what my options are for air suspension brand-wise and price wise.. I already know of the Platinum Phantom Cupkit but I dont think that setup allows for more extreme raise and lowering.
Thanks

We sell KSport Air Suspension kits, and if your looking into to air, the KSport kits are very affordable with high quality in mind. PM me with any questions, I'd be glad to help

Lots of info in this section of the forum. Read up and you'll find what you need.
Briefly - cup kits provide coilover quality ride with minor adjustment for bumps, driveways etc.., lots of air ride kits offer more travel with less 'sporty' ride quality than coilovers, hydraulics offer the most travel bar none with ride quality being handled by accumulators.

it all on preference hydros would be great but you have to have a great installer such as Tre5 customs air is a little more simple but less lift but both ride about the same. I have had both in these type of cars

Exactly. I'd have gone the juice route if there was someone locally that was knowledgeable to install it. All the installers around me do the same old hopper type setup every time. As soon as I mention accumulators their eyes glaze over.

UAS, ACCUAIR, VIAIR

all you need to know and buy and yes I'm biased lol

uas bags on whatever coilover, i have megans no problems , run a accuair mani if you got the cash elevel (never have to deal with guages and switches) and get a viair compressor or 2 if needed.

Na it only 8k for this set up I could get a hydro install and wheels 3pcs with shipping to Tre5 customs and have the entire car hard lined also and still have a bout 1500-2000 left over lol. Way over priced for the KW crap.
