Default Air Suspension Question????

I'm running UAS bags over factory shocks currently but l want to change the shocks....I want to use coilovers. Is there any special part or bracket need or is it just like putting them over shocks?...

There are no coilover that you can use in the rear of the GS without modifying the rear struts except the Tein CS. I've spoken extensively to UAS and basically the breakdown is this front coils are not a problem as long as their diameter is under 2.14". However if using a different coil than the Tein CS, then you need to modify the rear coils to be able to mount the bag as low as possible, since all of the rear coils put the springs at the top. Bear in mind that this is not a cheap setup, Coils will run you about under $1G but you will need to modify the rears and you are looking at about $300-500 to heliarc the coils and for the brackets that you need.

Thank you, I spoke with UAS and they were very helpful....They seem to like tein cs and they would modify them with the brackets for 250....The car would sit 2" above the wheels with the bags filled so that sounds good....It cost to ride low!!!!!!!
