Default Front-Back-Side-Side vs. Front-Back Air Suspension

Im looking into Ksport's Airtech kit for my car. The only difference between the Pro and Pro Plus kits is that with the Pro Plus kit, it lets you control all four corners individually. Why would this be beneficial? Opposed to the Pro kit, where it is only the front and back that you adjust

The only problem I could imagine would happen is it becomes like lopsided or something. If one bag has more pressure than the other but ive never heard of that happening..

"Oh sorry, I missed your initial question haha. Setups that control only the front and rear (in this case) are 4 valve systems. Basically the fronts share a fill and dump valve while the rears share a fill valve and dump valve. Because of the way this system is set up, air is able to transfer between sides of the car when cornering which will result in horrible body roll.

4 corner setups or 8 valve systems mean that each corner of the car has it's own fill and dump. These systems make it so that each bag is independent and air won't be able to transfer around while cornering.

You do not want to go with a 4 valve system. You will **** the way your car rides and handles."

^ I am using a 2 valve set up just for the front with an ExoticAir cup kit and I do not notice any body roll with the car up vs down. Maybe it is a different from air bags, considering it takes at least 160 psi inside the cups to get the car up...

I said **** it, and now I'm doing coils with nice camber arms instead.
