^^ the company has a great rep from what I have researched. I'm mainly curious about the possibility of the improved geometry for the lower driving stance, overall impression on install and handling.

It's a nice product, and if you already own rear bags it would be a good solution to the problem people have with airlift rears. But if you were about to buy bags, why not just go with Bagyard Classics and call it a day?

I have BY rears already. Haven't installed them yet. Some people were still getting rubbing issues on the bag from the stock LCA when driving really low. Mainly my interest is keeping the suspension geometry optimized. The bag sits at an angle in a stock LCA when driving low and I am hoping the cup platform was designed to keep the air spring sitting in the optimum position for handling.

The thin point to the left of the bag mount looks way thin for my liking. I am sure they are strong enough, but visually, it looks like a praying mantis leg.

I read a post about that somewhere. They say it's boxed steel and strong as... ^^^

Not familiar with this particular product, but I've seen a BUNCH of Dorbritz' work first hand and it is QUALITY. He sponsors our local club and most Texas cars showcase his setups/work. The guy knows what he's doing and does it well. You prob saw a bunch of his work at SOWO and didn't know it.
As someone that does ALL their own maintenance/repairs/modifications, he's one of the few people I'd let touch my car. I wouldn't hesitate to get the LCAs.

I'll be ordering the parts in the next week or so. It'll take a bit before they are installed, but I will put up some pics and initial impressions once they are in my hands.

IDK, I wouldn't trust anyone who spells "kustom" wrong (L0LZ). Other than that looks interesting.

You might want to sell you P-flo... for safety reasons of course.
