i have the tss airbag kit for the soarer, as yet not installed, but will be in 2 weeks time...

it was the airbag kit or a s/c, and last time i had the same choice (different car) i chose the s/c

the soarer kit is very costly as the most expensive parts the air struts are custom made and can be brought off the shelf like a commodore kit for example, but the total cost is 4150 for the kit, and when you comapre that to the price of new airstruts it's not that bad, difference is the aftermarket bags have full adjustability and better ride and are easily rebuilt..

as mentioned the auto level, 99% of soarers have rooted suspension so the ride is like a rusty pogo stick or whatever, the anti squat/dive is a function of the suspension design, the auto level is not, now with the basic kit it's all manually adjustable, but when you get the car engineered you have the option of different ride controllers and they have varied functions the most basic being auto level which is required by law, others can do many different things...

people might say what a waste of $$ or whatever, but i'll get as good if not better than factory ride, and the option to go from max low to max high in under 1sec if and when i please... also the car will go much lower than is possible on factory struts, mainly in the rear..
