UAS air with KYB vs. Stocks?

UAS air with KYB vs. Stocks?
I believe some have put the UAS kit on stocks before right? Hows the ride quality compared to with KYB? or rather how 'bout this. Is it the KYB strut that creates the stiff ride at pretty much any level, or is it the bags in general? I remember having bags on my other ride, but they weren't strut bags, they were just the bag and were MUCH more comfortable! IF it is the KYB causing the ride, then what drawbacks are there in using the stockers?

Yea, I thought the same thing! I can FEEL that they want to be comfortable... but IDK, just feels very rough... I think it may be because of the 22's, I cant drive low enough to get that nice ride. by any chance do you have the Dakota Digital gauge on your setup? If so, what ride hight do you ride at? I'm confident that mine are just too inflated....

thats weird... I ride with rear at 30 front at 35? and when I speak about rough ride, im not talking about the ride 22's give, I'm talking about not riding like on water. I though bags were suppose to be smooth like gliding on "air"? When I drive theres NO play when the car rolls, it feels like my 350z with the sports suspension! UGH, very rough and noisy might I add... Once I get the front fenders rolled, I'm going to go down to 30 up front and see if it feels better. I notice the lower I go the smoother it rides.

how does the installation change the noise factor? I can see the fronts being an issue, but since the rears have shafts that go into the top hat, I would think that would stop any movement the bag would make... (or maybe its the other side where the strut goes through) :thinking to self:

If you could email me some pictures i can see if there is anything that stands out to me. If something is hitting or moving it can cause noise. Usually the first thing i always suggest to check is the upper strut bolt. If that is loose then you will have a constant "tapping" noise while you drive.

seems like nobody understood the topic... big rims or not, my experience with bags gave me the smooth ride like "riding on air" or say a boat on water. Ever ridden in an OOOLLLD caddy how it floats? Thats what I thought I was going to get out of this (to a certain extent). I understand big rims are gonna make every bump felt (thats not a problem) but they have nothing to do with how the air "pogos" up and down. I had bags on my lincoln and they floated like air (like I would suppose they would). However, now i'm thinking it may have a lot to do with the weight of the car. My lincoln was 6000lbs. This weekend I had 4 "large" (lol) people in the car for the first time and surprisingly had a great ride!

Your thinking of a "sleeve" style bag, those will give you the "float", but your handling is out the window. The best thing to have will be a stiffer rebounding shock, pref. an adjustable shock, so that you can tune in what you like for the ride. Also the further away you mount the valves the softer it will make it.

yea thats what I thought (about the sleeve) I believe I made reference to that earlier on here (or on an other thread)... Yea it was an other, I complained saying I should have just spent the other grand on them . IMO, my car lost its "class" with these "doughnut" style bagovers... Still not a bad deal though, I still turn heads! thats all that matters.... HEY? Does UAS offer a sleeve styled bag for the GS? cause in the famous words from 'what about Bob', "Gimme Gimme Gimme... I need I need!" :P
We don't do any sleeve bags because we go for performance handling.

thanks again for all the input and for whatever more youve got for me
