The only coilovers for the gs that are fuss free are the tein CS, if you are willing to do some planning and some prep work you can definitely go bags and coils.

yup, I'm on KYB and uas.
Location is half the problem. It is an intricate process that requires much measuring and some welding. Look at page 13 of the following link and it will show you the process of installation for the height based sensors. http://www.accuairsuspension.com/pro...S4-TPAD_25.pdf

If you have any questions let me know.

It was the tedious "intricate process" that negated me to not go with that set up Not a difficult process, but couldnt see myself patiently doing it 4 times lol

I like them but tell you the truth I prefer to be able to see wat height I'm at inside the car. I prefer the Dakota with height and psi based senders.

Mr.jokester hit it on the head. Factory struts are cheaper anyway you put it especially if you don't have to purchase new ones. However there are pluses and minuses to both options. If you want pm me I will walk u through the options don't want to hijack the op's thread.

I bought my kit through "VT Kustoms" and for the same price as the kit from UAS they send you KYB struts (well they used to) I've noticed lately that they changed a lot of their stock and now carry 'their own' valves instead of the name brand ones, so dont know if they're kits are still available that way...

Just to chime in vlad know his stuff he also installed my airride(looong day).
as far as ride management is concerned I just added the Accuair E-Level in my car & Ihave to say it's amazing!!! once it learns your suspensions range of movement your in buisness...I should've done it earlier,I also added coilovers to my UAS bags & I could'nt be more happier with that decision,you have the dampning adjustability + added height control so it's a win win in my book.replacing cartridges are competitive price wise when compared a standard strut/shock...I should know I blew a ****load of money on my suspension & after a nonstop 3.5hr ride today i finally feel like i'm driving a lexus again

i want to mate these with some megan coilovers. i know i would probably need .5 in air lines. the brackets to make then fit the coilovers and the other bracket to make the car clear the bag.

what else do you guys think i might need??? And will megan coilover be good for this setup?

thanks i just need some more info from all the UAS guys....
