Well It sort of does kill performance. If you took track times in say your car, then put that suspension system in with everything else being the same, it would come up vastly short. I have driven a few air ride cars and was impressed at the ride, but not the handling. It doesn't rebound and progress at the right speeds for tuning your handling, so you never can get it just right for optimum race car handling, plus it's heavier and you have to run that large air can. Give me a 5 way shock anyday. Plus the fact that "What if it blew a line or bag in a corner" type of worry. I already blow off wheels, not a bag too.
