Air suspension

[aqua8701]

Okay, so first off, I searched for this topic and couldn't find it..
I feel like it has to exsist, so maybe I failed to properly search.

Anyways,
I am in love with this car, as we all are, although I would love to have a smoother ride quality.
I rode on stock suspension for a while and it was alright but I wanted a drop, so I installed Eibach Sport line springs with stock shocks. I got the sexy drop I wanted but now the ride quality makes me avoid driving her as much as possible.
I looked for air suspension and from what I could find, the ride quality only seems comparible and/or slightly better than coilovers...
I remember the air suspensions on some of the bigger framed cars back in the 90's that gave you a ride quality as if you were driving on pillows of air.
Is this not an after-market solution available?
I'm not looking for any reply that only offers a slightly better ride quality, I'm looking for a night/ day difference. Such as, " If your eyes were closed, you wouldn't even know you were in a sports car!"

so you bought a sports car with the intent of "not even knowing you were in a sports car"? i just dont understand what youre going for here.

Comfortable ride quality while still maintaining a low profile

Oh, now I get it.. Your in socal. Road conditions aren't better anywhere else in America . Here in the Midwest, our roads are shit. Pot holes everywhere, constant road construction. When I drive, all I notice is oil spots, because if I see one, holy shit I better prep for a jarring. Thanks for the deuche comment but if you aren't here to help then fuck off.

sorry for the douche comment. i just assumed that if driving in the midwest required a ride that doesnt feel like a sports car, there would be more than one person on this whole forum asking for it. i honestly hope you find what youre looking for but i doubt you will since its entirely unreasonable. whether your spring is air or a coil spring, you need travel for comfort and you intentionally removed that.

I understand what you are saying and I know I made the ride stiffer by tampering with the stock setup. I am unaware that it is unreasonable, hence trying to ask a large car enthusiast forum for possible solutions.
Most things people want to do to a car is a matter of personal taste and up for opinionated comments. I simply am trying to find out if a more comfortable suspension is available that still offers a dropped look.
I love the look of my BRZ and even though in the past I have made purchases with my bad back in mind, I neglected to do so this time. I simply couldn't help it, this car is beautiful.
Forgive my stupidity in seeking a possible solution.

All the new air suspension are adjustable from soft to stiff. Not like the 90's stuff.

Maybe look into this?

"Having the same amount of adjust-ability as coil-overs as well as being able to lift the car to navigate through terrible Chicago Streets makes the kit in my eyes the most functional product to date."
Awesome! Thank you for this awesome link!!

well congratulations. i hope that they can be at least as fast or as comfortable as a comparable coilover setup because $3500 isnt cheap. it was my mistake for thinking you had a budget since your first attempt to mod the car was just lowering springs.

Dosent change the fact that you bought a sports car and want a luxury ride with it. Thats like me wanting to buy a big gun without any kickback. Or a fast food burger that is healthy for you, dosent add up at all.

I never said anything about a budget and you basically said it didn't exsist, not even hinting that maybe it did for the right budget . This is just a case of trolling imo. You came on someone else's topic with no helpful input, simply bashing my idea.

Apparently enough for a market to exsist. Who cares if you don't like my idea of a more comfortable ride. Your simply a consumer with your own ideas on what to purchase. I didn't ask anyone if they thought it would be cool or clever to have a comfortable ride. So you can fuck off too.
One of my favorite shows, Top Gear, review cars purposely built to kill on race tracks . 1/4 million dollar cars AND STILL mention suspension.
Fucking idiot
