Im looking at picking up an 1st gen SC and bagging it with UAS.

What I need to know is what is a comfortable/proper pressure range in the air bag, and what height the bag is at that pressure...


That way I can decide if I need coilovers or just nonadjustable struts.

Thanks!

Can anyone at least tell me some info on the spring rates for the bags?

Air pressure varies between cars & height is a personal preference,what's perfect for me might suck for you....honestly adjustable coilovers or shcks are the way to go with uas.

I roll really looow on 17" wheels with UAS/coilovers @ 90psi fr & 60psi rr & my dampers 29clicks out of 32 no finger gap front or rear & i scrape the bottom on everything since i'm a lazy *** & i don't raise my car unless i really really have to...i know i'm a dumb *** but oh well that's just me.

No scrape for me is 125 all the way around on uas anything lower would rub the front bag for me as of now

2nd Gen GS 96 in the front 88 in the back on KYB GR2's with modified UAS front brackets. Its all a matter of personal preference, mounting hardware used, and struts utilized.

spring rate n air pressure go together...

Higher pressure = Higher springrate..

My butt-o-meter tells me that 125psi up front and 110 Psi rear feels like stiff coilovers at middle setting.. (i have my ksport struts on 1 click before stiffest)

If i were independent vs Bi setup i think itll be a lil more stiffer at 125/110..

Hit up MyblackSC (Nathan) or SCboy (Hil) to see what they think about the ride quality on my car.

i was wondering if you purchased upgraded bags??? When i was helping my friend install his UAS the bags said 110ish psi max :O. unless UAS send out different bags depending on what type of vehicle you had ???

TomLee

well there are two diffrent kinds, the aero and something else.

i was actually taking a look at that, because i was also thinking of getting air for my LS400 but still debating. my ls400 is old as heck, and im scared its going to break anytime soon.

i noticed the kits come with the Aero Sport, but they do offer an Aero Power Sport. The Aero Power Sport doesnt really show support for cars but mainly SUVs.

plus air ride way to much out of my little college kiddy status lol :[

Most Lexus' use the Aero Sport


while they do say Max PSI 110, most people ride with them at more pressure. Like James does. When I want to 4x4 mine I can get them up to 170psi.

170 when max is 110? Do you risk blowing them at anypoint? or will it bust the valve before the bag?

Zack at UAS told me the bags will hold up to 200 PSI. Mine stop filling when they hit 150 PSI. I'm running custom short Aero Sport bags that UAS resleeved for me. Since they are small they are stiffer at ride height. You lose some lift but it's no big deal. At ride height they are around 100 in the front and 80 in the rear.

200 PSI dang they are some industrial bags that fo sure. you werent joking about all the rubbing!!! is that the air bag from your most recent incident???

Yup, you can see that I was rotating it periodically. I guess I've been too busy to check on it lately. Oh well, it's all fixed now with the new brackets pictured.
