Air suspension questions? Possibly piecing a kit together
OK I have a 2001 gs300 currently on stock struts( i believe) with hr lowering springs mounted to them. (not adjustable). My question is... If i decided to purchase a management kit like the,(ridetech RidePRO e3 Digital with level pro), can i still use my current struts and springs or will i have to buy a set of air coil overs like the ksports that are all ready assembled? I'm trying to stay around 2 grand for a complete piece together kit. Whats a good reliable kit for cheap? Any info will be much appreciated and thanks in advance!

Yeah UAS aero sport bags can be installed on stock shocks and wont put a huge dent on your wallet. Some guys though have experienced bag rubbing issues, others have not. There's also AirRex air struts but those will cost over 2 grand for just that.
For the management go with accuair or the autopilot v2.

Hey Thanks! This looks like a great deal. also when you say bags... are you saying that i need just the bags to put on my stock strut with the lowering spring that i currently have (will that even work for me) or some kyb non adjustable or would i have to actually buy like a complete adjustable air bag strut? im new to most of this guys so sorry if im asking dumb questions? I dont need fast bags or anything crazy just want mainly to be able to lift car when coming to a steep driveway or a flooded rd . i would like for it to come up quick so i can make the maneuver faster and i dont need to be laying frame.lol here is a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACCUAIR-AIR-...r#ht_500wt_934

the uas bag will slip on to the stock strut, so you would have to remove your coil spring of course. If you want a full complete air strut like from AirRex or Air Runner it will get more expensive.

If i did go this route do i need a short medium or long travel??

I ended up getting the Airlift Autopilot v2. I got a 5 gallon tank with dual chrome viair 444c withe 3/8 plus all dot fittings and a couple of other bonuses. It was a great deal for what i need. Accuair is great but so is Airlift! Plus they have been around for along time with great success with there products! The only thing i need now is air bags or struts. i should be bagged right under 1950 when im done. I think thats awesome compared to those basic ksport which is only up and down for 2500. You cant beat that besides free.lol! Yeah the universal airover shocks i have seen just dont know which ones to get and whats all involved in adding them. I emailed airlift to see which one they would recommend .So i hope to hear something soon! any one know the spec on our Oem shocks like height/ extended / compressed ?etc??
