air ride makes the ride terrible. get a s10 or full size truck if you want air ride.

Got a buddy with a 370 that sits on airbags (total show car... all show, no go mods) and his ride is pretty terrible. And he's not on a "ghetto" setup either (ART system). I'm sure if he fiddled with the setup a bit more he could find a good medium for ride quality and handling, but as it stands right now, it's pretty rough with no real handling benefit. Unless you really want the slammed/wheel tuck look, good aftermarket springs and shocks are hands down the best handling mods you can do outside of better rubber.

air ride isnt that good my brother in law has a $3000 kit on a show civic and the ride sucks ***** also depends where you live if you had nice roads its great but pot holes is where the problems happen ,blown bags blown vales and hoses that leak if you want low get coil overs .

yeah full bag kits are not good, ride sux.

the hybrid coilover with the small bag is better, I think airrex is the name of company.

the object is have the bags fully deflated while driving, and only inflate them if you need to get over obstacles due to being too low.

after driving the a35 max, your not going to like aftermarket air suspension.

I don't know how mercedes lexus etc get their air ride cars so perfect but the aftermarket ones are horrible.

Used to own a Caddy Seville STS, came with air ride...so does Audi dont recall what was the model but the one looked liek station wagon that had adjustable air shocks as well...i think it depends what you want out of it...i dont think it will give you performance but i believ it will give you a luxury=soft=feels like a boat ride.

hey papies, no need to be a ****. its pretty apparent that you dont know much about cars if you think that air ride quality is great. coming from a bagged s10 the ride quality is terrible. think before you type tough guy. i was trying to give you my input from bags, "air ride technologies" bags to be exact. if you dont want my 2cents then dont post asking questions that I have information on.

What a tool, asks for input then gets all butt hurt when people respond.Don't post if you if your incapable of dealing with others opinions and for the love of god use spell check and sentences so we can understand you...tip:red lines mean your thoughts conveyed to words have failed!!
