Air Ride

[rogue]

While my Continental doesn't quite fit the bill for Lateral-G, it is bagged and I've had it for over a year now with the setup so I can comment a bit. A car that is setup to be a cruiser will do just fine with bags, they are floaty and a bit bouncy. A decent shock setup is a must to counteract that.

That being said, I would never consider bagging my 69 camaro until I could drive a muscle car with a nice proper bag setup on a track.

I can't imagine throwing a car with bags on it around a track but I'd be willing to try it, in someone elses car.

Rogue,
Although swapping out a set of coils for air springs will considerably help the ride quality and handling, it will not make it a road racer. You must also upgrade shocks, sway bars, control arms, tires, etc. to really make a car corner well. And like Tony said, make sure you use a 4 way valve. On an extremely heavy car like yours using a 2 way system will allow tons of body roll. Literally.... tons!

We are hosting Auto Cross's at many of the GoodGuys events next year. Stop by and we'll give you a ride. I heard that we have scheduled a Steet Challenge Auto Cross for the Costa Mesa, GG show in March. So all of you West Coast guys will get your shot!
