Hey all, we're thinking of getting air ride on our next project, has anyone got or had it? If so how does the it handle? I won't be using it on track days but just wondering how it handled compared to coileys?

Any help or advice would be great! Thank u

I was about to suggest hydros then saw the man who's actually got them getting in there lol join the revolution ;) Similar setup cost to air wasn't it?

Hydro's are slightly cheaper from what i know... not much cheaper tho!

Air handles pretty well... been in Shauns (shaunandez) a few times and its good... been in other cars on air and they are really smooth. the key is to run them at the right height to get the most comfort... too high = too much air and too hard... too low = no air to take the bumps.

It would be very cool to have...! i think hydro's are around the 3k mark... most companies quote 4k for air last i knew? im sure someone will correct me if im wrong

Mine handles pretty good on the air. still getting used to it so not giving it much. dont think i will anyway to be honest. its certainly a smoother ride than coilovers. it depends how much pressure you put in the bags tho
