Default Bag Suggestions
I am Thinking of going with UAS Bags on my AWD GS, now my main question is should go with the UAS Setup on my Stock oem Struts or to go with the Setup that will fit my BC's. according to UAS i would have to send my BC coils to get it drilled and on the other hand if i plan on going with my stock OEM Struts i wouldnt need any changes to it. The other question i had was which one would be logical and which setup should i choose 1. Its the OEM Struts with UAS bags or 2. BC Struts with USA bags. Also if i choose to go with OEM Struts would the car go as low as i am right now or lower.
Thank you in advance.

You don't want to go with OEM struts and UAS bags, the struts will blow before you even get a chance to fully enjoy it.

Do it the right way and have your BCR Coilovers modified.

GL OP!

Sorry for the late reply. A setup like this costed me (EXACTLY) $900 for the BCR coilovers, and $1200 for the modification UAS did to my BCR struts, including all needed fittings and bags and brackets.

Management side ran me ~$1600 (+100 for the wireless remote kit)

Total was ~$3700 for the whole system.

Airrex struts I heard were great. Everyone who has'em seems to love'em.
