Coilovers over Ksport airbags?

[Jaino240]

Is there anyone daily driving Ksport airbags?

I was wondering if those airbags are durable enough to be daily driven on or is it just for show.

Been on coilovers a few times in a couple different cars so I know how it feels with coilovers.

I've done plenty of research on airbags and it seems that only a couple 8th gen accords are running air suspension, but not the Ksports; mainly custom Airrunner type setups and they seem to be more of show cars than DD's.

Hopped on Lexus forums awhile back and ppl did say the Ksports were durable enough for DD, but I want an 8th gen Accord owner's opinion. Trying to gather as much info as I can before I dive into something this expensive. lol

So again is there any 8 gen owners out there DD-ing Ksport air suspension?

Thanks!

There are no members who regularly post that have air ride .. the few that actually had air ride had custom setups.

Air suspension is not common around these here parts.

cough cough... i have air ride.... (ps this is my 1000th post woooo)

and i would stick with coils unless you want to be insanely slammed.. bags themselves last.. your compressor, valves and air lines are the things that have the most chance to blow. my buddies s10 has 60k bagged miles on it and hes had to replace 2 of his valves and his compressor. Its a big undertaking vs coils. You have to run inside ur car a power for a compressor, a switch wire for a compressor on off. you have to run 4 air bag pressure gauge lines. Then u have to run a line from each strut to your trunk all 8 of these lines have to go into a box in the back of your trunk that connect to the valves which then connect to a air tank. Over time the air tank builds up with moisture and you have to drain it out otherwise it will rust... unless you get a stainless steel tank. I personally have a blow off hose ran out the bottom of my car so i turn a leaver and it all pisses out onto the ground =)
