For the fronts dont use easystreet. They suck! I would recommend universal air, they just slide over your stock struts. Thats what i have and i love them.

Yea but it also cost an arm and a leg. I paid 1400 for everything. Thats about $900 less than what airrunner wants for there stuff. Yea that have the best stuff out there but universal makes great stuff too.

yep... but you gotta pay to play... airrunner will go lower front and rear... and you pay for what you get.... if you want a bag to just replace you springs then universal is the way to go... if you want a full replacememtn easystreet or airrunner.. however nothing but good reviews on airrunner... no messed up camber... and having had both kits.. i really have to say that airrunner rides 100x better than the universal air system.... if you looking for decent and cheap universal air all the way... like you said they make good products... if you want the best airrunner ftmfw they make the best products : )

airrunner has an awesome ride, without a doubt. airrunner may go lower than universal air as i have no experience with universal air, but es struts drop way lower than airrunner. also, airrunner doesn't come close to going lower in the rear. the mount in the back is huge. in fact, you can cut it down an inch to get lower with airrunner. i had ss bags with the fbi brackets in the rear and i was lower than the airrunner was at full dump.

yea but ES struts are crap and if you have a lip kit or body kit you will tear it up because when they are full of air they are still 2" lower than stock.

Universal drops lower than the FBI kit in the rear....so there. lol

The fronts going lower is all up to what wheel/tire setup you have. You could be tucking and drop it to the ground or you could be like me and have the fender drop on the tire which stops me from going really low.

Can we have pictures of the ES, airrunner, and universal setups? maybe dumped, and raised all the way up?

Im looking at going bagged soon, gotta get rid of my coil overs first.

no air anymore. i got new parts and may reinstall, but am thinking it over.

also, when looking at pics of different setups, make sure you take into account rim and tire size. with any setup, a car with 15's may look/be lower than with 18's.
