Default UAS - Airride brackets

Helllo guys,

I believe the billet mounts will work in the front, but they aren't necessary on the SC application. You'll have to contact UAS directly if you want brackets for use with coilovers.

The standard UAS bracket for most lexus applications is this. http://www.universalairsuspension.co...51c825e4e203b4

For coilovers you'll need them to add a spacer to clear the fitting coming out of the bag. On a normal strut you would cut the spring seat to clear the fitting. On a coilover the fitting will hit the adjustment collars, so a spacer is required to prevent damage to the fitting.

You can see the brackets bolted on to the bags and the tubes that I was planning to use for spacers.

Thanks for your answer, there are very good informations for me!
I will contact UAS this afternoon and ask them for a SC300 coil fitting kit.

But i have another question too...
Iīm running HSD coilovers and i have read that i must take some measurements if they are compatible.

Can you tell me please what i need to measure please?

You have to measure the shock diameter. The part the airbag will slide over to see if the bags will physically fit over your shock body. If i remember correctly the shock has to be 2.14" or smaller.

Also depending on how tall your fitting is you'll need that measurement for the spacer.

Are you using those brackets? I've worked with something similar, and the fitting had a very close clearance with the coilover collar and eventually snapped, at the 90 degree point where it swivels. I was wondering what the clearance was like with those brackets?
