It's ok for the street, but not for the track. No matter how much Air Ride sells eveyone on how good it is for the track, it's not. I have driven one on the track, and its below par. Light street perfomance driving, and stuff like that, it's fine, but not for the track. It does have good street manners though.
chevy2boy333 you never did show me a pic of your tire and rim from behind under your car. also if your cars done can you post some pics? i was curious as to what a 17x7 looks like from behind. i want all four wheels to be the same, but if i dont get traction well ill move up to 17x8s. i dont want the rear wheels to be alot wider then the front wheels. kinda going for a 60s Grand Touring car meets modern day engine and suspension look.
air ride is so overrated
it makes for a stiff ride with not much in the way of shock absorbtion.
remember the old hijacker airshocks?
Wrong....My car has air ride, with shockwaves in the front, and the ride quality is great....you just need to have the right components. The fact that you are comparing contemporary air ride systems to airshocks of the 70's tells me that you probably haven't had much experience with a good system.

I think Air ride is a fine system but for the money come on. You can by the best stuff thats out there for the same and have all the quality and ride that you want. PHR did the air ride on a 2nd gen camaro and man was that thing expensive. The rear alone in suspension was somewhere around $2000 without the air tank and controls.
