So this is what you can do with Air Ride suspension. The car looks really cool this low. Great for car shows!
I have heard it said that Air Suspension doesn’t belong on a sports car. And while I agree to a point, this thing rides GREAT!
It has much more body roll than it did with the coilovers but not so much that it feels it can't hit the next corner at twice the speed limit.
Now I installed the lowest cost shocks with air springs available. I could spend a bunch more money and get track quality shocks under the air springs and I may do that to report back how they work. So far I am impressed with the ride quality and the ability to raise the front for trailer loading or steep driveways.
I am using the digital version so I have 3 presents available. #1 is car show mode and is very low. #2 is normal ride height mode and #3 is load it onto a trailer or steep driveway mode. Ride height changes are almost instantaneous with a small air tank on board. The current system can be tuned via a small screen display allowing me to change the ride height on any corner of the car independently...
Next I will be installing optional ride height sensors so the programed height will be exact as opposed to ride height based on air pressure alone.
If you are offering a system, I am also interested in just the front
