old pic but..
@ 40 PSI front and rear.. my pipes area already touchin the ground. along with my UCA touchin the top.
i have about ~3.5-3 inches left on the strut body.. meaning i could drop it that much more if needed.
this is with Ksport. currently have 7k miles on em n so far no problems.
only minor issue for me is finding a place to mount the gauge n switches.

I have a better idea than Air..... why not oil has anyone had hydros in there cars? There is a compnay in AZ that has had great results with sturts style cars it called http://www.Hydroholics.net/ and is owned by two guys who have had the experince to back it up. ckeck out some of thier cars. Plus Air is not cheap you can get a top of ttime set for around $4500 from air runner and hydrolic is more like $2000 for the best setup and installed for what you would pay for a air setup in just the kit.

after reading around... and the going price of each setup i can say that the ksport is about $2000 less than the air runner...
Air runner : $4500 new??
Ksport: 2300-2500 new? (not 100% sure)
with $2000 saved you can buy a new tank, new fittings, new manifold, new brain, and have a kick *** setup... after that i really just boils down to how long the ksport bags will last. The new setup is a sleeve design like the Air runner.. while i have the older setup that is a double bellow which is "sportier" compared to sleeves.. just i have the rubbing issue unfortunately... Also to the upside of getting ksport is that it comes with 2 Compressors while Air runner has 1.... and to add.. the tank on the air runner is rather small so play time is decreased while the Ksport has a 5 gallon tank at 200 psi. Enough playtime to impress everyone.
im bias mainly cuz i have ksport and im pretty familiar with air suspension components now and looking at Ksport and air runner fitments stuff.. its pretty much the same thing just ksport you get twice as much at half the cost.
yall be the judge.

Id like to do hydraulics, ..over air. .Reason why Im leaning toards air, is I dont have a good understanding of hydraulics, as far as the install. I know that with adjusted accummulaters, ..the ride can be very nice, and can offer more travel. Plus, hydros would just be baller.

The usual cup kits comes with needle gauges, 1/4th lines, manual switches, 1 compressor. and a small tank. The upside is that they usually come with PTC fittings rather than the shietty compression fittings that ksport comes with (i dont think they are DOT rated).
If youre talkin about the phantom cup kit then you gotta get coils on top of it.
If youre talkin about the air force kit.. it aint a bad kit. a few peeps run it here n like it. I havent yet so i cant really judge it. Looks nice tho.

actually, my mistake. after re-reading my discussion w/ platinum, it appears that the cup kit will be quite a bit more than the ksport and possibly UAS.
probably 3.5K USD if i was to do it w/o factoring in costs of shipping, coilovers and upgrades i would like such as better management.
