Let someone tell me that cylinders are better....I have five hundred reasons to tell you why cylinders are NOT better than bags...

First off, a basic kit is front up/down, rear up/down...As you move up to different kits, you will see that there is an increase in air PSI (different compressors), more air tanks, larger (faster valves),etc...

And anyone who has our kit can tell you how awesome they are (ya'll have seen the pics of my car, Jason's car, Rhonda's car (Rhonda, you need to call me BTW ) , and a few others.....and the fitment is perfect, so unlike other kits, you don't have to chop or grind or do other BS....

So much fun with air

The top of the line system includes two 600 PSI compressors (for a total of 1200psi in the tank), eight dual position 600 psi valves, ten switch switch box with separate remote controller unit, a chrome nine gallon tank, front strut bags, rear cylinder setup, 1/2 lines, and dual needle guages.

So for 1400$ I get a fully bolt on bags(just need up/dwn) that any shop can install?
