Unhappy AVS With airbags?

so I would like to install an accuair system
my question is could I / should I retain avs by using universal bags / or should I just install the air struts and lose avs?
would it be worth it keeping avs?

If you keep the OEM struts, you'll be in a world of hurt when you find out how much those struts cost you. The OEM struts (AVS and non-AVS) don't like be abused like aftermarket struts.

I ditched the AVS system and did BCR+UAS & Accuair.

If anything, this setup's a lot more aggressive than what the AVS system can dampen to.

(Australian here) the car is at 157,000km I already have researched the replacement costs supprised the shocks haven't died yet just thought id get a second opinion before I do anything. my thoughts where that the dampening would have been better with avs but in hindsight, wouldn't be a problem. Sport mode just means I have to get out of the car to adjust dampening
my thought was to keep the avs till they died but that would probably be more trouble than its worth.
sorry for the random order of this just wrote what came to mind as it did.
thank you for the advice.
