Thanks! KSports when they first came out I did not like them. I had them on my Corolla. Same thing with D2 Racing. But with KSports now, they have good R&D and quality control. The airbag top and bottom mounts (the shiny parts on the previous pictures) are made from billet metal as to some "cast galvanized metal" which will crack overtime or when you over torqued the fittings.

The comfort level of the ride is directly proportional to the amount of pressure in the bags. The higher the pressure the stiffer the ride. The struts are 36 way adjustable dampening. Please contact RidesLow and mention my screen name for an unbeatable pricing of KSports Air Suspension Kits.

I got the eyelids on YAJ. Junction Produce and Admiration has them for your 91 LS. You need to have a JDM headlights to use the eyelids because the US version headlights has those protruding pieces of glass on the outside of the lense but I am sure you can go around it.

If you know how to work with fiberglass it is fairly simple to make.
