Prashant (Urbantacticz) has the super dropped White Vertex 350z with the polished Wed Sports wheels. His car is on airbags and is just mad sick. You've probably seen it in the aggressive wheels and stretched tires thread.

people that have straight show cars that never plan to run them on the street since such a set-up would suck so bad for daily driving as well as what would happen if one of the bags decides to break when you are out driving (seen it happen once, not a pretty site). pretty much rank that up there with lambo doors and neon underlights

Yeah you should really study up a little more on them before you post something you know little about. UAS even uses their kits on some drift cars. Is it the best suspension mod for handling???? Probably not, but it can get the job done. Plus most people dont even track there car and the UAS kit is great for daily driving. I had one on my 300C and had no problems with it. The kit is made specifically for the car so you dont have to any major modifications.

why do i need to study up on it? it was a friend of mine that had these and told me to never get them because driving on the street sucks with them. plus it was his airbag that failed when out driving and we spent 4 hours getting his car off of the edge of the road after his bags failed and dug the front end into the ground. i was relating personal experience so i think i do know what i am talking about since you was not there to see it first hand.

so i think personal experience versus advertisements weigh a lot more when it comes to decision making. you want a show car to "slam it", then get the air bags. you want to drive your car avoid these.

Well I am also speaking from personal experience since I had them on a previous car and had no problems with them.....did your friend have the UAS kit?
