I started the install on saturday afternoon and finished on monday night (after work). I gave up all my football watching time this weekend to install the kit. The install went smooth. All my power source was easy to tap into thanks to my amps in the trunk. Actually, the planning process was harder than the actual install. KSport makes an excellent kit and I love this kit!!

mounted the relays behind the spare tire. The wiring leads to where the stock amp is mounted

really been wanting to go with air, still saving though...this kit uses new struts correct? are they damening adjustable? anything really difficult in the install?

 

yes, the kit uses all new struts. that's actually one of the reasons that my friend recommended this kit. The install was not difficult at all. When they said that this would be bolt on, they really meant it. If you can install coilovers, you can pretty much install this kit. The most time consuming part was figuring out a way to run the lines and what sources to use when wiring the relays/valves. The struts do have 36 way damping adjustability. I highly recommend this kit. Here's the features straight off of K Sport's page:

nice, how much did this run you if you don't mind

 

Sick!~

 

sweet, how's the ride?

 

I like the air struts, but is this set up f/b only?

 

Thanks all.

The kit ran me about $2K shipped.
The ride is pretty smooth, almost like my previous suspension (eibach prokits) at 80 psi.
Pat, this is a f/b set up. No side to side action for me lol. I was supposed to pick up a kit from Tony (TNT) but he was super busy.

 

thats sickk

 

sick. in for vid of it in action please. also how does this affect aligment? since its constantly changing?

 

it constantly changes caster/camber but I usually drive with it near stock height. I haven't really noticed too much of a difference in the actual alignment while driving it. I'll try to take a vid of it in action. I've just been really busy at work.

 

You should think about getting it aligned to specs at the height you most often drive at. It might help you save on tire wear. I plan to do that on mine soon.

 

 

Awesome, airbag kit easy enough to install yourself and reasonably priced. I was contemplating going UAS but it looks like the install is much more difficulty than Ksports. How is the handling and ride on these?

 

with it at 80 psi, the ride feels pretty good. It almost feels like the Eibach prokit that was previously on the car. The ride feels like an aftermarket setup, just depends on what psi you run it at.
