Beating a dead horse...again(air suspension newbie)
I tried doing the search method but the answers to my questions are not presice enough.. Please, any help would be great.
1A) Can you use airbags on stock suspension?
1B) If you can, do you recommend getting aftermarket shocks/struts first? and which ones?
1C) Should I be on coilovers for airbags suspension?
2) Just to reiterate, Does the 03-04 Q45 have the same suspension as the 03-04 M45( every suspension site has it for the Q so im thinking I can use the same parts...is this true?

1A) yes
1B) up to you but make sure how the bag is going to sit on them. You might need grinding and welding done.
1C) up to you also...however more pricey
2) Most of it seems the same but I can't be 100% sure. I do know the lower control arm is the same part number as well as the wheel bearing and hub. I would assume its the same but I can't say 100% sure.

Thanks guys, I found out that Q and M have the same suspention. Thats good to know that I could use the stock parts also, Im finding out that there are no companies that make applications for this model.

here are a list of factors that you have to consider before going the chep route ..
UAS= $2400 + install and FAB =approx ($3000) plus you will be using ome's struts they will not GO low in the fronts with your stock spindle + your car already has about 40 000 miles on it if i am correct soo the struts are almost dead ....( UAS works best with JIC coilovers ) JIC + UAS =$5000 and your car will be flat on the ground ... <<(BEST OPTION BUT MOST EXPENSIVE)
Air Runner = $4000 Ish bolt on and drive ..had every thing you need (take in mind that the brand new spindles from nissan with your sruts are about $500. BETTER OPTION CUS YOU HAVE ALL YOU RELLY NEED ..BRAND NEW ..
I am not here to change VIP or make worse you need to consider and work out what is best for you and your price range ..i will advise you to save your money and do it once do it right .. JIC COILS/ UAS OR AIR RUNNER OR ANOTHER SECRET PROJECT THAT I AM DOING :)...
i know a few guys who spent $3500 doing uas and adding , cutting, +++ and they are still not done the entire car ..(f50 and y34 ) are the most trickest .
hope this help you ....and that is the main reason why i sarted a air runner group buy a few month ago to get a discount for ever one ..
Good luck with your decision after all money talks( cash = what ever you want .. and happy endings too

I would buy new shocks if you are going to run them ... you maybe have alot of miles on the current set ..
and as far as coils go .. not needed but as you progress down your path of vip it will be nicer to roll lower and stiffer and low ride heights .. otherwise get ready to ride high

If I was to get JIC coils, would I have to customize those too to fit or are those just straight in...
My vehicle has at about 70,000 miles and I was going to replace all struts and shocks anyway, but on stock struts how low can you really really go. Could someone post a comparison(PIC) with a car on stock struts and one on coilovers.
All I really want is to tuck tires, will I be able to accomplish that on stock struts, not so much aggressive as VIPDout(Sexy ass hell by the way).
