Yeah, that was me, in the very first response to the OP.



The system linked in the OP costs ~$4.3k and by another user's estimate is 20lbs of weight over conventional aftermarket coilovers, I stand by what I've said.

For it's intended purpose, driving around town #stancenation and the occasional track day, sure probably does just fine based solely on the claims for the website. If I'm racing against this guy I'll take the car that saved 20lbs on utilizing a conventional coilover setup that's been dialed in. Just my opinion.

Edit: To be more clear,
If I have a car that I want significantly lowered for performance reasons, I have accepted that speed bumps will be more than a minor inconvenience in it's life, I do not believe air suspension and adding 20lbs to the car is a solution I would find attractive. OP asked for opinions and there's mine.
