I had the Ksport pro airtech kit on my GS also, I like the bags from ksport because of the 36 way damper makes it ride smooth. But I didn't like the control unit and the slow valve system they had. When you set up the pre-set heights it doesn't raise up accurately. The lines where 1/4" air lines which was very small, when I first purchase the ksport system thought it was the best ever, that thought only lasted for a week or two till I learned all the flaws in it. Now my new set up is Ksport air bags with Accuair E-level controls and valve. E-level has a height sensor arm on each end of your suspension so if you preset your switch to be 1" off ground lets say, then its going 1", with the ksport its reading air pressure settings which is not every accurate, cause you can inflate those bags at the same psi but it wont be at the same height all the time. E-level has a 3/8" air line and raise the car and lowers it quick, I start my car up and it raises it to my set driving height in like 2 seconds and off I go. And I hated the dual 380 air compressors they took like 4-5 mins to pump air up in my tank, so I upgraded to dual Viar 480's they can fill up the 5 gal tank in less then 45 seconds. Anyone building a kit should get the Ksport bags and e-level controls. I'll take this set up over the over priced air runners also.

Thanks for the props guys....
One of the first along with Duonghtx
The kit I got ( Pro Plus) retails for $4600. But I got a way better deal because my boy is a vender for them. I dont want to say what I paid but if your interested let me know and I can get at him for ya.
Yeah the quality is pretty good. The strut bag combo is really nice. There are some minor issues with the kit though...see below.
Roe here on the CL bought my Tein comfort Sport Coils. For a steal I might add.
LX-Mode GS Painted Black - you can get it HERE...

I agree with some of this...the presets are not accurate and this is really frustrating. If you set the presets the back are on point most of the time but the front seem not to want to air up to the correct position. ( Its seems to work better if you have a full tank though)
The (2) 380 compressors I feel do a good job and in my opioinon put air in the tank rather quickly. This does not bother me at all. Also I like the 1/4 lines, I wanted a smooth up and down motion.
If you want a perfect kit though I would go with Duonghtx set up.
Ksport bag and coil combo
Accuair E-level - with 1/4 lines or 3/8 lines
(2) 380 compressors or (2) 480 Compressors
5 gallon tank
I will be getting Accuair next summer for sure.

Airbags are cool, but if you want exceptional performance, check out Platinum's Phantom Suspension Cup Kit. I just saw it on their Facebook page, they mated a K-Sport for 7 series with the Phantom Suspension Kit.
