I had the eLevel as well (still do actually, sitting in my room lol) and you are spot on with its ease of use and functionality.

I don't have experience with AirLift on a strut level but they also do test their setups on a track. Their 500whp STi has been tested extensively on their struts.

The reason right now they haven't released their kit is because they have to test the kits on three separate vehicles for a standard timespan before releasing the kit for public resale. I can appreciate that as a buyer.

I had AirRex on my STi so I am not favoring one side, but just figured i'd mention it.

Just get coilovers. Less hassle and cost.

I do love airlift bags but seeing how airrex has a tried and true race car on bags I would go with them. Airlift has an amazing product overall from my own experience especially drifting a bagged mustang. Airrex overall is generally going to be more expensive as opposed to air lift. It's mainly quality in my opinion

Coils are more of a hassle then bags.

Somebody should come up with electronically adjustable coil-overs, it would be quite interesting and technically simple.

DatGoodBRZ · 11-09-2012, 02:34 PM

OMG I've been wanting to ask you guys for info on airbags but didn't wanna get bashed! I really don't wanna track my car so much and really love the Hellaflush scene. I was hoping Ksport would release a air ride system as those I kno can still adjust dampening. Where I live there's lots of uneven surfaces and I just wanna be able to get around town without worrying bout my car being too low! Definetely glad I'm not the only one who feels the same!

DatGoodBRZ · 11-09-2012, 02:51 PM

I wanna say Ksport air ride is electronically adjusted too depending on kit level. They have in cabin controller and a remote control that goes on key chain!

I meant hassle as in terms of reliability. There's a lot less to go wrong with coils because they've been tried and tested. Bags on the other hand are more complex and have more failure points.

I don't wanna civic Hellaflush! I want my BRZ Hellaflush lol! I knew I'd get bashed lol!! O well kick me off and let me hit my switches in peace! I just wanna be able to pull off the low stance and not fuk up my car's undercarriage, is that really so bad! Don't hate me! Promise I'll still autoX my car and take it to the track!

You won't hellaflush a car without scars. Most gets scars even at stock height

You gotta pay to play.

Doesn't matter. You'll end up looking like an idiot if you take a hellaflusher to an AutoX or an HPDE, and everyone will laugh at you. Use your BRZ like it was meant to be used. I bet Tada-san would have a heart attack if he listened to what you are planning to do.

Have a good day, and try not to eat any more scented markers.

Only things that ever go wrong with bags is you may wear a hole in it if you ride to low.

DatGoodBRZ · 11-09-2012, 03:47 PM

Geez look lik an idiot? R u sure? I guess I don't really care if people don't wanna be my friend cause I like it low n flush. O well... guess I'd be losing out on some great friends who'd laugh at me.
As far as those KW HLS system that's awesome! Gonna look more into it. I def don't want a lowrider system just somethin to take over obstacles and park it low! Thanks
