Air strut = bag over shock. You adjust the stiffness of the shock, like AGX's.

My experience with air struts have been less overall height adjustment, and they are bouncy since most of them have crappy shocks.

Do with it what you will, I am just giving my I don't think you can get the struts for our cars....

I really don't mess with it much. I set it and drive. I don't mess with it really while I drive. Can't really say there has been any moments, I get compliments all the time, mostly when it's layed out or just sitting real low.

BTW, I have always heard good things about EAI, and I have never had any problems with mine.

Casper mentioned he had good luck with the blowjax

I would piece everything together rather than buying a kit only because everybody seems to specialize in one thing and lack in the rest. order:

Compressor, airline, switch box, and Tank from www.truckin.com

Valves, water seperators gauges from www.fbimini.com

Cylinders from EAI www.hackshack.com

Compressor- dc5000
Airline- 1/2 and 1/4 for gauges
Switch Box- prewired 10 switch
Tank- 6 gallon 8 ports
Valves- Blitzluft or GC 1/2
Gauges- 150 psi
Water Seperators- parker
Cylinders- EAI for Honda Accord 4" front 3" Rear
Fittings- Lowes, Homedepot, Ace- Compression fittings no junk push fittings
