i'm looking into changeing my cylinders for air strut bags. i have a 99 Acura TL and planning to use the airlift kit or the ride tech kit. I was wondering how these kits ride and are they better then cylinders? I have replaced my cylinders twice already and want something reliable.

I would go with the Airlift. They also have the adj struts like the air ride tech. And they will ride alot better then the cans you have used. Hit me up if you need some prices.. We should be able to same you some cash

Ive never tried the ART struts but I have installed Airlifts into TLs before, work pretty nice and pretty good ride. Heres some pics with the car up and down..

It ART makes a kit with shockwaves, i would deff go that route. It has all the advatages of the airlift struts, plus a much nicer part with more adjustablity. We're putting airlift struts in my dads xB right now, but if ART had struts for the xB we would be going with shockwaves for sure!!!

Im running shockwaves on the rear of my truck now, and i wish i had the space to run them in the front. Great product, best ride ive ever had on bags.

there alot of mixed feeling about the 2 company. I might just go with the airlift kit since its a bit cheaper and i'm currently on a budget. And they dont look that bad.

i will be ordering the easystreet kit in about 1-2 weeks. I wanted to know how dependable are air strut over cylinders? I had cylinders and they will start to give about 2yrs or so. So i want to know with air strut do they leak? and does it just pop and if it pops when your driving does it damage your car or have any major effect?
