So far i've read nothing bad about this air suspension from the other forums. They actually like it.

1) I don't know how they would claim it's 'direct bolt-on' if the system uses an air compressor and reservoir that doesn't exist on the stock car.
2) If you're that worried about ride quality in the Z, you bought the wrong car.

In my case im not buying the air suspension because of how the Z rides, im getting it because of my steep drive way and i like slammed car:D

How would a setup like this perform on the track?

This is how we advertise the kit when we mention 'bolt on'

"Easy bolt-on installation. No modifications to OEM shock absorbers, or OEM top mounts."
directly from website KSport USA - Performance Suspension | Coilovers/Big Brake Kits/Air Suspension/Alignment Parts for Honda, Nissan, Acura, Infiniti, Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Lexus and other Performance Cars

Reason we advertise this way is because there are lots of universal Air suspension kits that require major modification your OEM shock and top mounts. Our kits allow you to install the shock/airbag as if it were OEM or a coilover set up.

If anyone has any questions please just as in here and Ill try my best to answer your questions.

here are some pics of our air suspension on many vehicles and everyone is a happy camper :)

The air suspension is track proven? How does it handle? I wonder how it would equate to in a spring rate or stiffness.

:ugh2:

Not worth it for a track setup, +1 on poor quality

Yea air suspension is by no means for the track you want static suspension (coilovers) for track driving.

I would recommend the Slide Kontrols for you guys they still sit low and great performance!

I have kinda turned away from Ksport over the years because of the claims of them being low quality and such. Years ago, and I mean, probably 6-7 years ago, I had a set of them and they blew out a year after I got them. I never did anything with them and sold them to a buddy of mine. He spent a couple hundred bucks and had them fixed, and uses them to this day on his Civic.

Ksport has stepped up and you can't ignore their involvement with motorsports. Their time in the industry should be a testament to their commitment to their customers and products.

I will admit that I never considered their parts for my car, but that has changed. In the end, you don't see all of the big name brands that are "quality" stepping up and supporting grassroots racing and people on the street level... do you?

Besides, I don't know how extreme you racers are out there, but chances are, you probably can't even utilize a set of $5000 to the fullest.

Just my opinion here, and to Ksport... rock on.

We appreciate the kind words over here and yes a long time ago we did have lots of issues with out shocks and that has changed big time as you can see!

We do like to look out for the weekend racers and the grassroots guys because you are what keeps this industry fun and lively!

Again thank you for the kind words we will continue to grow and hope our fans will continue to support because we would be nothing without you!

Hey, thank you for keeping with the aftermarket parts industry. Thanks for improving your quality and working through all of the set backs; that is what it's about.

I've been involved with all types of brands, different car makes and I have seen the improvement that you guys have made in not only your parts but in your support.
