Question Attn: Air suspension pros! What you think about this kit?

I plan to go air suspension. I've been browsing the net and found this full strut and bag kit. For all you air experts out there, tell me what you think.

It's called ; Streetridepros.com.. they've got a complete kit for $2k and dig. air controlloer for $130. good or bad?

I am in no way a AIR king or anything but I havent really heard many good things about that company ... Iono

the controller looks basic ? normal ..

Universal air bags .com has a great rep and price the same if not wrong .. + vendors here sell it too ..

good luck bro

lmao. did the words 'plug and play' throw enough of a red flag for you when looking for an air suspension setup outside of UAS for the GS?

You should think of going UAS or Airrunners. UAS runs about the same price as those and they have a good reputation.

I also have not heard good things about them. For that price go with UAS or spend more and get airrunner.

I LOVE my UAS setup! Make yourself a hybrid setup if you already have coilovers using the UAS bag combo.

Hey everyone, thanks for the advice. I will stay away from this kit...

I am now leaning towards the UAS kit with Kyb struts.

Good Idea. UAS is a good company that stands behind their product. But in order to get the most out of your setup the Dakota Digital leveling Kit is a great investment.

I've googled, looking for more info on the UAS kits, but have had no luck. Anyone have any links or more info on these and how they work? New at the air suspension stuff....

check the UAS site they have a video as well as install instructions for some vehicles that will give you an idea. Plus vipstylecar forums are another place to look.

Thanks, I was searching "UAS" and couldn't come up with anything. I can not find any pics of the setup from UAS though, and it says you have to use either a set of coilovers or stock struts?

When I look at the system above (in this thread) those appear to be a whole strut with the airbag system built in. I am guessing UAS is not like this? Does anyone have any pics of the UAS system, either installed on struts, or not?

Thanks guys....

Quincy
