Default Coilover to Air suspension

Currently sitting in coils but I wanna get bagged. I talked to a rep from Airtekk and they have a product that basically replaces the spring with a airbag. (Called bellows) anyone heard about this before?

I'm also looking into Air ride, and have come across bag over coils. They are most definitely a thing, I've heard people using UAS (Universal Air Suspension) which seems to be the more popular choice. I personally am looking at either getting AirRunners or Airrex Air struts.

So if I were to get bag over coils, all I would need is a management?

From what i know, Yes.
a management kit (tank, lines, compressor, computer/controller/leveler)
Try contacting UAS.

You would have to get the proper bags + tank, compressor and management.

We have been selling a ton of the D2 Racing 36 way adjustable air bags. Great product to say the least.

ive had springs and coils on previous cars and for the lexus am going straight to air. bags on coils is the new things. I just paid $3200 for D2 racing struts with bags, and a 3P airlift air management system w dual 444c compressors.

Damn that's a lot. I'm on a slight budget so saving the $1000 roughly doing the bag on coils helps out.
