Product Details

The KSport Airtech Basic Air Suspension Kit is the fixed-damping entry point to KSport air-ride for the 1982-1988 BMW 5 Series. Get the slammed-when-aired-out, stock-when-aired-up behavior you bought bags for, with durable KSport internals and a price that leaves room in your build budget for the management, tank, and wheels the look deserves.

For BMW 5 Series owners who want bags — not a race suspension — the Airtech Basic is a straightforward, proven kit that bolts in, drops the car, and behaves exactly as advertised. Step up to the Deluxe, Executive, or Pro Plus only if you want adjustable damping; if you just want it on the ground, start here.
