yeah, still, getting a uas setup won't really cost much more at all, probably similar to what you are going to spend now. there isn't really the need to go roberuta or skipper, you pay mostly for the brand names there.

to me if anything this setup is good about "plug and play", which i am still trying to see how much easier it makes. otherwise i would just put together a uas system for about the same price

but anyway, to each their own. i just felt kind of funny and curious

I have the UAS setup...in fact, I have the Tein CS/UAS setup...even better than going with normal shocks...

I'm trying this setup to see if it's any good. If the new (AirForce) coil cups hold up, they seem to be very nice...then I'd be happy and they suit my driving style more than UAS setup.

If they turn out to be junk, I'll build another Coilover/UAS bag kit...piece of cake...

Now for the guy who hasn't played with air suspension before, they can try to use this kit as is and replace parts as necessary. But for me, I know which components are high quality and durable, so I wouldn't want to waste the time testing out what comes in the box...

Henry,

#1 - It's not about cost.
#2 - This kit and UAS kits are completely different, shouldn't be compared on the same level, IMO.

If anything, UAS kits vs AirRunner is more like it...

This kit is comparable to the Roberuta/Skipper kit, but at a huge fraction of the cost.

So far, this kit does seem very "plug & play", just gotta run the air lines and power up the all-in-one box...

And if you haven't noticed, I've been on UAS bags for over a year now and I like to try new things...which is why I'm testing these...worse case, if I don't like it, dump it and build myself another UAS kit...

Haven't installed it yet, but their website is finally up if you want more details...

It looks like they have a coilover/bag setup as well...

well I wanted to know from whoever had bought the kit and installed it to see how well it holds up on daily driving. how the ride is? is it worth buying versus spending more and getting the roberuta system? did anything need to be modded on the car to make it fit? did you have to upgrade any of the parts i.e. lines, connections, etc.? and the most important question of them all.....are you happy with your purchase or should you have spent the extra dough?

Did anyone actually put this in yet? Or does it need to be installed by a professional?

They are working on a video of the cup coils for the site now, the one up there at the moment is for the air bag set up.

If I can't find the right UL Ls430, I might have to pick these up.
Hopefully they'll still be around by then.
