If you just want it for the front, do an air cup kit. You'll ride at your normal height and stiffness and whenver you need to get into an entrance you can just momentarily air up

Do you currently have coilovers?
If you dont, I would recommend an air cup kit. We sell the one from Fortune Auto. Comes with a full set of coilovers and then 2 front air cups with 2" of lift.

No, it's not. Actually, going with a complete air suspension kit is pretty similar in price to getting a cup kit setup with coilovers. My setup cost around $3k (the same price as the AirLift v2 for my Lexus). I have the Stance ISM cup kit with Super Sport + Pro coilovers and Swift springs. Honestly, with all the trouble I had with this I'd recommend that if you want a cup kit to go with either Fortune Auto or Platinum VIP's Phantom cup kit.
I purchased mine through THMotorsports and they were great to deal with. Stance, on the other hand, stopped responding to me once everything was installed and I found out the wiring was COMPLETELY wrong and my solenoid/valve is a pos. |

From the people I know who have Airlift, most have been pretty pleased with the handling. I know Airlift actually posted a video a year or so back showing how their Air struts (adjustable bag over strut, basically #2 on your list) handled compared to traditional coilovers and they seemed to do well. Marketing hype obviously, but they've come a long way from a decade ago.
For the price, full air struts/bags will "usually" be cheapest (depending on what setup/management you go for). For cups, you have the cost of the coilovers, then on top of that the cost of the cup kit. For handling, the coilover/cup kit will handle the best. |
