UAS japan Hybrid air

Sorry buy UAS japan site is a little wonky right now. However i keep seeing this and am intrigued.

Right now, they only have it for toyota's at this time. However i wanted to make my own kit. Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on this.
In order to do this right, i would need to buy some pretty short bags like the aero house. Then buy a coilover setup and then buy shorter springs..

i guess my question comes down to setup.

In order top properly get it setup so that it lifts the vehicle, how would i setup the coilover and spring. would the spring and coilover compressed have zero preload or would i want to have zero preload when the bag is semi full?

Am i overthinking this or is this not a good setup to go with and should ditch the idea for something similar to phantom cups.

It kinda reminds me of a CUP and coilover set up but with bags.

I once spoke about a similar setup and the conclusion by the majority was that i was nuts. Which upon revising my opinions, i kinda sorta was, as i was looking to do my own R&D, but the benefits did not match the effort required.

For the solution, you would have to go with an UAS air house bag or similar, shorten, then make brackets to fit. In addition, you will need some soft of system that keeps the air inside as your strut needs to pass through the air house bag. The setup would be similar to how cup kits are set up.

This has been done before my KW.

The biggest challenge here is getting it right.
