It's like comparing Apples to Oranges. I asked them for the info on the coilovers, but wouldn't give it to me. They said it was just a test to show us how far air bags have come comparing to coilovers. lol I do like their product though. It's track worthy, but I love to see a comparison to high end coilovers.

Just another company trying to cash in on the ignorance of consumers. Nothing new.

I will say that this does seem like a decent product for what it is. You can slam it when you are hard parked and you'd still get decent performance around the track. Should be a very good product for the "hellaflush" people.

they should of swapped the tires out on every trial so it will be a fair comparison.

I want to see this comparison performed by a third party. For all we know, they either chose the slowest lap times of the coil over system and or they were not driving the coil over equipped cars as hard.

Looks like a good kit for your everyday driver and car show enthusiast. Personally I wouldn't track it but I do like the concept.

Interesting video. Bags are still not my thing. Too many things left out to leave most people questioning. Air suspension is more of a jack-of-all-trades suspension, having slammed and mediocre performance in the same bag. Although you could spend less than half and have the same if they really had Stance coils.

Like someone pointed out, if they had stock suspension, that would be a greater indicator of what to expect. Also, the wheels on the BRZ... aren't those really heavy wheels?

Just found out that they were using V3 on the BRZ

on their Facebook page when they replied to my comment. I still don't believe it's V3.

If they honestly performed better than a coilover setup then they should publicly show what they compared against. Ask them, literally, pics or gtfo
