Default To people who have Air Runner basic kits.

Not sure if this is the right section to ask this, but I wanted to get answers from a variety of people.

Do you feel like your ride quality is compromised at all? I don't know if I can justify paying 1600+ more for the On The Ground series. I was told the OTG kit was more for people who rode their car low at all times. How do you guys ride your cars with the basic kit and hows the ride quality?

Thanks.

Would the Air Rex be compared to the basic kits? I'm just afraid that I would be losing ride comfort if I get the basic. Since apparently the OTG kit is supposed to be for superior ride comfort over the basic kits when riding low. I don't plan to ride low all the time, only once in awhile when I know I wouldn't be driving through any rough roads.

the basic kit is just a KYB strut not a coilovers setup like the OTG setup

Thanks for the info. I was reading up on the system and I've read elsewhere about people saying it was too bouncy or too stiff unless you get your perfect setting. Which would suck to only be comfortable in that current height.

Awesome. Thank you. I was just worried about losing comfort for the basic kit.
