As a matter a fact, there was thread here can't remember what it was, I think "D2 air suspension". Anyway, all of the kits are essentially the same. What I found was that it's more important that the installer knows what they are doing and that the manufacturer has a good customer service history. After really looking into it, I elected not to do it. One of those cases where the risk outweighs the reward.

Im guessing the customer service history is what did it for you?

I emailed them asking some questions but never got an answer.... I guess potential customers arent worth answering.

@ksport one of the questions I asked which is pretty easy to answer I hope that I was asking when I emailed was...

1) Where does the tank/compressors mount? Trunk? do yuo lose your spare?

2) How loud are the compressors and if you arent adjusting the height at just cruising how often do the compressors run or kick on?

Thanks!

They're usually pretty good about responding to emails. If you have any questions about Ksport stuff, you can always PM me or call/email us.

The tank and compressors mount where ever you want them to mount. Most people go for a trunk setup. Ksport supplies a mounting platform with the Pro and Pro Plus kits. I'm sure with some thought, you could have enough slack in your wires and lines to allow you to tilt the mounting platform backwards and be able to get to the spare. The compressors won't run at all once the tank and bags are filled to your desired pressure. Ksport uses Viair compressors, some of the best on the market, and they're pretty quiet.

There are a few people here but I (Jade) am the only person that keeps up with The370z, so if you do have any questions specific to your vehicle and you see me on the forum just send me over a PM just to make sure its not getting lost in other peoples inboxes.

We do answer all of our customers as Scott said I am on top of all emails and forums so if you dont get an answer just shoot one of us an PM and we will get ya take care of!

Most people mount their tanks in the trunk, but it can honestly be mounted just about anywhere depending on the room you have available.

Loudness is very subjective considering whats loud to you might not be loud to me (Im a DJ so I listen to everything at level 75% lol). I would consider them quiet though.

The compressors are set to come on at 165-200 PSI, they will kit on at 165PSI and then cut off at 200PSI.
