Was wondering if anyone knew someone or a shop that specializes in installing air suspension. Specifically Universal Air Suspension products.

My UAS kit arrived last week and looking for someone to help me put it in around the East Bay area. I am willing to commute about 50 miles out of Oakland, CA.

Also my budget is around $6-700.00. Anyone have any recommendations? Or can vouch for someone or a shop?

Thanks!

keep in mind the rear struts have to be modified so you may be looking at more than 600-700 for install.

i was told nothing realy had to be modified. they did say someting about having to attach a bracket to the struts but thats about it. the dude even said it was easy. idk , i might attempt to install this myself. btw, congrats and please tell me how you like the system when its installed. im getting this in a couple of weeks aswell.

another member talked to Zack over at UAS and this was his response, it seems pretty similar to the 2nd gen GS setup

Thats funny. Zach from UAS told me the top perch from the front strut needed to be cut and ground down. He never stated any modification to the rear.

However, I spoke with TuanDang (cl member) briefly, whom is in the process of installing his UAS in his 3G GS and he said something in the rear needed to be modified.

Can someone discuss this that has already installed this system in their 3G.

For clarification, I will be running my system on stock shocks. I was also offered a set of modified brackets from Zack of UAS. Opposed to the standard brackets. He claimed that the modified bracket allows me to go lower in the front.

ask for carlin he's doing my UAS right now go check out my 3GS....tell him TIM/alwayzspeedin from clublexus sent you..he'll hook you up

The rear shocks and front shocks do need modification to fit the bags on the stock shocks so it can sit lower if not then the car will still sit pretty high if you just put the bags over the shocks as is

damn this is frustrating. eveyone says something different.

chiu_888

you can put everything together as is but you will find that the car doesn't go very low without modifying the shocks, but UAS can make it go even lower by sending them your shocks and they will cut out the spring seat completely and weld on a completely new bracket and thats an option from UAS for in house modification only, hope this helps.

well if you look at what he wrote, the 2 answers technically are correct. the problem is if you do not modify the struts then you can not slam the car

Why would you buy this kit if you have to mod the system to work on your car? Just spend the extra money and go Air Runner

you only need to mod if you are using your stock struts, but if you go with tein , hks ..etc they have brackets for it..then no modding with be necessary
