-Air cylinders

This is probably the best air system out on the market. Not only do you get full height control with canovers, each air cylinder acts like a shock. The ride quality is next to stock.

Easystreet is a great airsus company who's been in business for over 50 years. Now although they only offer limited kits, their crafter packages are a great deal for anyone with a few fabrication skills or who has a shop available that can handle that part of the task for them. They also have one of the best digital airsus systems and controllers. If you're looking for a direct bolt on kit then maybe it's not for you (unless you have a 300c, Galant, xA, or xB which kits are available), but if you don't mind getting your hands dirty then you won't be sorry. The new adjustable struts will be coming out this month.

Digital system can be used with coilovers and UAS bags too if you choose to go that route.

Other top mount designs available depending on application.

From personal experience with the Easy Street Digital Controller, don't waste your money on the Digital Controller......stick with Manual Switches. Please refer to the following posts:

http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16246

Another bad experience with Easy Street Controller:

http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14113

Basically I now have a more than $500 Digital Controller that is worthless and was a waste of my money. Once again this is just my experience with the Product and the Customer Service. If you do decide to go this route I hope that your story has a better ending than mine.

Platinum VIP's Phantom Suspension is so far the best adjustable suspension on the market. It does not ride on rubber bags like the others mentioned on this thread, but it runs on t6061 aluminum cups. This system airs up and down fast and there are no needs of unnecessary solenoids. Check it out

www.platinumvipmotors.com and go to the product section.

Found a Air Suspension Kit from StreetBeat Customs dot com for my 2003 Acura RL. Super Deluxe Kit for $1999 +$499 to upgrade to electronic switch and gauge. Anyone have any opinions on them and their products? Talked to a Marketing Rep over the phone, was informed that kits were made to order so I could actually customize my strut height if need be.

D2, Ksport, and Airforce kits are all the same with just different badges... Just fyi so if you are thinking about any one of these, talk to your rep or sales person and see what kind of pricing they can get on the others

my buddy at my local shop got me a good deal on the Ksport Air Deluxe kit because they are Ksport authorized dealers, what ever that means...
