Keep the strut bar, it's not impossible to install it with an air suspension set up.

Im also wondering if thats as low as you can go. I have been REALLY looking at getting the UAS kit, but if you cant tuck your wheels while parked, then I may reconsider. I mean in that second pic of your car, my car seems to be a little lower, and Im on HKS coilovers. Can you shed any light on your lowest low with that kit???

That has Tein CS coilovers, so it might be a different stance than a stock strut.

when you run air, does it matter what suspension setup the air bags are running on? or does running air just allow you to slam-dunk the car?

i wouldve imagined being on air, his car would be on the ground like others i've seen on air.
(sorry i dont know much about air)

Can you modify the way the bags are mounted on the struts to get a lower stance? That can't be all the way down. He's on 20's.

i wanna see the lowest these can go on stock shocks..i kno on coilovers..they can go lower if they have the adjustable shock body(shorter shock body with full shock travel)..cuz i am considering this set up as well..and cant afford coilovers AND this set up..if anything..some bilstein sport shocks with these bags would be great
