@cUr@-TL
the ride compared to sock will suffer... a lot. when u have the cylinders set to the middle, that is the best ride they will give and it will be a big difference from stock. with any air suspension, i think the handling changes. like if u can take a turn at 35 mph stock, with the air cylinders u cant go as fast. i might be wrong about that but i dunno.

as far as comfort goes. when you set the air right in the middle, it is perfect. it looks awesome, lower than most lowering springs, and it feels great, because you are riding on a pocket of air, what could be better than that? riding with the car all the way up or all the way down(which looks sick) feels like ****..... i did lose noticably on handeling, but, its not like it matters cause i dont race and i dont take corners at 60 mph. if you drive like a retard and like to drift corners or take your car on a nascar oval track.... dont airbag your car. but for daily driving, the handeling difference really dosent matter.

i agree. the air bags are cool. ppsssssssssstttttttt!
but i think you have to watch how you drive too. my friends car has them without the compressors. he uses compressed air, and switches tank. it is faster than the compressors and he can sit on three wheels. but he hardly drives the car.

we got tired of driving off and stopping to make sure all four wheels were at a close to the same driving height.

and it does bounce a little but not much.
but it beats lowering the car at shows with that hand wrench and coil-overs.haha
drop it and walk off!!
