Don't get K-Sport as that kit "IMO" sucks. Either do UAS/Tanabe hybrid or AirRunner if you have the money. I sometimes want coils again but I still love my air

eh its really all about how you maintain the kit. i use to have air on my old car which was a dd for 3yrs. i only ran into 2 small problems and thats because a line rubbed on my tie rod. if you empty the tank every month and clean your valves, then its pretty worry free. obviously there is a big difference between the two. what are you looking to achieve? do you want the wow factor or just overall functionability?

imo, it really depends on your budget.

don't let the brand fanboys influence what you should get. at the end of the day, it should boil down to this: afford > need > want.

if you can't afford it, you probably won't need it. even if you can afford it, and you do need it, do you really want that vs. something priced less but does the exact same job?

i do recommend doing some research before commiting your hard-earned money to a product. best of luck.
