Default possible stock air replacement

i used to have an LS430UL and had the dataSystems controller on it.

now i have a Crown Majesta with the same stock air type susp with the dataSystems controller on it.

i just came across this product for sale (slightly used) front only for $250. i am very curious if this is like a stock replacement since the connector valve seems to be identicle to stock.

anyone ever seen anything like this before? i wonder what the pros and cons of this replacement would be?

They look like the Air Force struts... I think Yakuza is running them so you may want to shoot him a message.

Never heard of anyone using aftermarket bags and shocks as a OEM replacement. If you're saying the air connection is in the same place and looks like the same size I guess it could work. I for a full system so, sorry I can't be much help to you.

thanks. yeah i had air cups on my last car and will eventually prolly just go full air on my current car, but just thought it looked too similar of a hookup and placement plus the strut almost looks like a stock but better part.

thought maybe just maybe there was something using stock compressor, lines, and tank but would be more stable. guess the management stuff would likely need to be upgraded as well cuz not sure what psi the controller and car would try to set on the bag...
