I typed out a whole long post and this site timed me out of my login when I clicked submit so I'm gonna try keep it shorter this time...

I want to bag my 6ESh. But I can't find air struts.

Most sites don't support ES at all in the picker, some do though but only 2 support 6ESh specifically. BagRiders and B2BDMotorwerks. BR has 5 options (1 of them is AirLift unit but they only do the rears for some reason...and all of their options are the exact same SKUs as the 6ES350). So I started messaging sites to figure out if maybe ES350 units will work on ESh. Only B2BD has gotten back to me and they said 6ES has 2 front suspension types, bc the Hybrid is heavier. (It seems it's only 100lb/50kg heavier but ok). Deep diving type1/type2 I found the 7ES also has type1/type2 but that makes sense, they got fsport trim.

B2BD search wouldn't even show air struts when I punch in 2015>ES>300H, they had to link directly, and the type1 and type2 have the same stock image but different SKU so I don't know what is different about them and they stopped answering my DMs. They are both called XV60, no mention of AVV60 and you'd have to ask them what type 1 and type 2 mean to know which one to get...

FitmentIndustries sent me on a wild goose chase, their YT channel said DM on IG, IG guy said email them, so waiting on email back.

D2 (my first choice on BagRiders) hasn't got back to me yet

I am hoping someone here can possibly shed some light on this type1/type2 front strut myth.

Got big plans for this car and would love to make a build thread topped off (or bottomed out) with a bag setup but this car is old news and not performance oriented so this may prove more difficult.

edit: Found another instance of t1/t2, but again no explanation

edit: possibly getting somewhere...

edit: d2bd emailed me back (probably the same guy who finally responded on IG).
"The type 1 lower bolt hole is even with bottom of strut at about 62mm
distance between the holes while the type two is extended below the
bottom of strut at about 80mm between holes."

So unless I can get measurements of parts that are pretty much made to order I think I have to go with Airforce Suspension just because he knows what he's talking about. Maybe some bigger names will get back to me during the work week...

I got some more info. So Type 1 vs Type 2 is real. I got the same diagram from both CEIKA Performance and D2 Racingsport. Attached below.
