I'm not a beliver in air bag suspensions being very good for handling. I do agree that it improved the G/28 slightly through the cones.

Cool?
Yeah.
Handling?
Not so much.
Ask Marcus @ SC&C what happened to him when he started asking the hard questions at the Air Ride class.

It's ok.. Dennis and I enjoy going round and round from time to time.. keeps us sharp and on our toes .. he's good in my book (even if he does need social skills.. lol)
Had good leafs but better shocks could have most likely make g/28 just as fast through the cones as the expensive Air Bar system.. We were NOT trying to show that the Air Bar deal was the hottest racecar setup out there.. or even a race oriented deal at all.
I think what we did show is that if you wanna be able to "lay frame" and have the coolness factor (if your into that) of an air spring system then you don't have to throw performance of any type out the window. Will you be as fast as a nice 3-link, Quadra-link or TA?? No.. but your car will not be dangerous to drive aroud a curve at over 5 mph.
It's no secret that the ART guys are not good at answering theoretical technical questions about the laws of physics.. then again we don't drive pieces of paper and formulas scibbled down. We drive cars, so I think I will stick with real world testing.
ART is not for everyone.. then again not everyone gives a crap if they can go around Willow Springs 4 seconds faster than the next guy.
And it did knock 80lbs off the car..
Anyways Tyler.. don't sweat it..
