Them being the same, means that I will get the same results... right? Well if they aren't willing to help me when I need them, I'm not going to be interested in buying anything from them so the end result won't be exactly the same.

Therefor, Ksport would have the advantage in this realm.

The majority of the people buying coil overs don't look at the equation like you do. They just want the lowest possible price.

My problems came from being involved in an accident last March. The front drivers side still has an unfound leak. Each night when I get home from work I have to start my car and raise it. If I don't.....the front tires will be resting on the inner liners within 24 hours. That, of course, will cause the front fenders to bow.

Do I regret doing it? Not completely. I knew the moment I had that accident that I was somewhat screwed. The body shop installed the air ride perfectly (my car wasn't the first car they'd installed air ride on) but that accident sucked. In fact, I just dropped my Z off Wednesday for them to fix it....at least it's not car show season. I'm giving them all the time necessary to find the leak.

Unless you want to slam your car for awards or raise the car above normal ride height due to the roads in your local town.....I'd vote against getting air ride on a Z. I did it for car show competitions and because the roads around Northern VA suck donkey d!ck. In the end....it's your choice.

I love it but hate it at the same time, if that makes any sense at all.

So no problems prior to the accident?

No, none that I remember experiencing. And I'm really hoping the body shop can find the leak and everything will be back to normal again. *fingers crossed*

Thanks for your input. Hope it works out for you. I'm really considering doing this because there is a steep driveway at work and at the house. It sucks in the morning when I drive into the parking garage, I have to go .1 miles an hour at an angle with everyone behind me. I'm just waiting to get keyed by a disgruntled employee! Would hate for it leak though. Guess I'll sleep on it before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

I know exactly what you mean. Even raised to max height I still do the angle thing. It does help to keep the front bumper in one piece and not get all scraped up.

Oh, and to answer an earlier question....I'm using Universal Air Suspension:
