I only heard bad things about these types of air suspension. Too bouncy ride and dangerous at high speeds. The only air suspension that i trust is the oem.

IMHO, the best option is the KW HLS. This system raise the car 45mm. You can buy coilover + HLS, HLS for oem suspension or universal HLS kit.



KW Hydraulic Lift System
