Just wondering if anyone has an air bag suspension, i was thinking of it for my 6G. but then i was thinking control on turns, because if they are loose/soft, i dont want to be swaying all over the place. but it would definatley protect my body kit and paint investment over the harsh New England weather.
Comments, Pictures, Thoughts are all welcome

mines an everyday driver.
doesn't bother me a bit. ride quality is about the same as coilovers but w/o the popping noise. i have a crap load of vids floating around on here. i have a couple in my cardomain site that shows me playing with the bags. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/211325 This post has been edited by Phat_99CeliGT: Sep 29, 2005 - 9:31 PM -------------------- Jared Harwell

[right][snapback]347951[/snapback][/right] I have to get mine inspected every year here in Pennsylvania and they never say anything about the air ride except how cool it is. You will be fine as long as your not stupid with it. I know here in PA if your caught playing with it on the road they will make you take it off. I don't recomend it for a daily driver. It gets annoying on long trips. |

Alright to save a new thread, I have a question about air ride. Has anybody heard of AIM industries? I was thinking about getting a kit from them.
http://airbagit-store.com/product_list.asp?id=2122 Are any of those kits any good or would i be better off just buying all the parts individually and putting my own kit together? -------------------- -Brad

AIM is a good company.
u might find that buying everything seperately will be cheaper. most expensive part is gonna be the bags. -------------------- Jared Harwell

I got my whole set up from AIM. I haven't had any problems with it yet. I've bought a ton of stuff from AIM through the years and I can't be more satisfied.

I went with aim too... we finally got the suspension in and working.. Just have a very slight leak in rear setup..
I wasn't too happy with Aim cuz they sent block valves which i asked not for... 2 of them cracked already and one of the switches broke.... Right now i need to find out why the steering is so crazy
