You can also have a custom tank or tanks built to fit in different places. This all just takes time, money and effort. But sometimes it's not even worth it since, there's an OEM system available for the same car as you have.

does any 1 know what parts i need to buy in order to incorporate oem air suspension to my car

Do UAS bags slip right onto kyb struts?? Or do you need some special plates to make them fit ? I am getting all my parts together to bag my gs300 and my installer is stuck on this last part.

Yes they do. When you buy UAS bags, it comes with mounting plates. But these plates need to be either welded on the strut (which is not advisible for a gas filled strut) or some other way so that it doesn't move around.

Thanks for all of your guys support!

If money is no object and your looking to spend the 4-5k I would suggest running our bag setup over a good set of adjustable coilovers (like the Tein CS's)

When you order your bags please make sure to tell us they are for the KYB's. We have made plates that will slot right onto the kyb's with the removeable spring pearch's.

the main thing is to make sure that the bags are centered.
