Default UAS + Coilovers.....keep the CST's?

So Im gonna go with hybrid air on my next GS once I sell this one and dont know if I should keep my Tein CST's. They dont go very low at all but I already have em and I dont wanna have to sell em and get another set for twice what I sell these for.

I already have 20 Donz montanas in SC fitment (25ET/30ET)wrapped with 255/30 in the back and 235/30 in the front. So I was hoping I could get the UAS kit and use it with the coilovers I already have. It just seems silly to me to buy the air suspension and only be able to go down less then 2 inches with it. How much lower can I go with the wheels and tires I have ? I really wanna be able to have the car close to sitting on the ground at shows and meets , plus I also like to ride pretty low. But I guess I wont be able to even come close with the Tein CST's, right ?

What coilovers is everyone else running with UAS ? My plans are to install my supra TT brakes, coilovers/EDFC, UAS kit and wheels/tires. Anything else I might wanna get to go with this setup? Like I said , I have everything already except the UAS. Anyone seen 2gs running UAS and Tein CS?

For more information on suspensions like this, I suggest to go to www.vipstylecars.com/forums if you are not already registered there.

UAS is a sponsor, and quite a few people there are using this setup.

Tein CS will allow the car to go lower with the air bags, rather than the stock shocks. A member ShaneC is using Bilstein shocks, and got his car pretty low too. Since you already have the CS, use them, you won't regret it.

Oh, and did you still want to sell me that AB Flug grille?
