Update! I found the rubber push next to the brake pedal assembly I just have to cut through the rubber to fit 4 air lines through and should be golden!

Ive been looking into the possibility of going with an air setup, but it seems so overwhelming to a noob like me. Should I completely rule out a BOC setup with my ST Coilovers? Ive read that it's not the ideal route to take due to poorer ride quality.

I'm running a BOC set up...and have been for about 2 years. Its all about adjustment and time. I've had 3 guys all over 200 lbs right with me and they side the ride was perfect. And these are guys that are lowered on coil overs. You have to figure out your max points on your coils, once you do that...you have to determine what PSI you want to ride on for daily drive, and if your coils are dampening adjustable (which helps a lot) you dial in more precision here. It took me about 6 months to get a set up I liked. Now with my current set up is 50-55psi in the front and 75-79psi in the rear (which gives me about a finger gap all around, and my dampening settings is like 15 out of 36 on the front and full stiff in the rear, and this is BOC on my ksport kontrol pro coils.

Quick question, I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. When putting on adjustable endlinks with bags you set the length to right height correct? Would make more sense to me since you shouldn't be turning when aired out.

Ok guys selling my uninstalled elevel. Long story short...I never acutally hooked up my elevel. I only hooked up my ECU...well about a month ago the ECU went out...so I sent my ECU, remote, and remote cable back to Accuair...they did a warranty claim and sent me brand new products...well since thing I went ahead and switched to accuair switch speed. So I have no use for this...the only thing its missing is the tank pressure sensor. This is a good upgrade if you already have air. $900 to anyone who wants it....they go for $1200 even on ebay....

So if we can lets try to follow this format when posting your suspension:

Brand/Coil type (if applicable): K-Sport Kontrol Pro Coilovers
Air Management system: AccuAir Stage 2
Bag type (if applicable): UAS Bag over coils (front) / Air House 1 bags (rear)
Air Gauges (if applicable): Zaetech DigiGauge
Any additional suspension mods (endlinks, sway bars, camber plates, etc): none
Any pics you have: I'll upload more pics of the install later once I make it home.
Wheel/tire specs: Vossen 20x9(+20)/10.5(+27) w/ 225/35/20 and 255/30/20......Volks 20x8.5(+29)/10.5(+37) w/ 225/30/20 and 275/30/20.....K3 19x9(+20)/10.5(+25) w/ 225/35/19 and 255/30/19

Thanks...I would look into Universal Air Suspension bag over coil (BOC)option. I'm not to familiar with Air Lift. But if they have a BOC option I would say for it.

ahhhh....you must be talking about the rear. Long story short....I have/had the VERY FIRST 3 series Universal kit that bag riders sales (prototype) ...The very first kit did not of set the rear bag enough so it rubbed...and eventually it rubbed a hole in my bag...(scare day when it blew) But anyway the new one is offcenter. you are going to have to spin the bag around. At a certain point the bag will not touch the strut. When you get to that point that is when you bolt it down.

I see..so I call UAS and they said they have a new bag type for our cars that they recommend. So Zack will send me the new ones along with new brackets so we will see how that goes. All they wanted from me is my old air house 1 bags and brackets in exchange.!
