Default Stock strut vs tein CS for air suspension?

Any greater advantage to using a tein strut vs a oem or oem replacement strut for the air bag system? I see that uas can use either, however for stock or stock styled strut you must use their upper adapters.

Trying to recouperate some of the cost of my teins if i dont need to use them, and no greater advantage is acheived by using them vs stock struts.

Theoretically, the Teins will have more strut travel/internal stroke than stock struts as well as they were valved internally for at least a decent drop.

Though, I have seen people get "low" on stock struts, if you already have the Teins, there's no reason you shouldn't re-use them. You would be able to get lower on the Teins with air, anyway.

The TEIN struts are higher quality than the OEM ones, and not to mention they can be damper adjusted.
