You have to admit, air does give up SOME function. If it was the best system every racecar would run air, but no one does because it doesn't give you the proper dampening you need to really push a car to the limit and it adds weight. Please don't misconstrue this into me saying you can't drive a car fast with an air set-up, but I am saying with a proper coilover/damper set-up the car will handle better. It's science. Now 95% of the people that drive cars on air or even cars period are NOT good enough drivers to take advantage of that level of performance.

Haters gonna hate.
Air is targetted to different people and market, mainly it's the "slammed" look, or "wheel tuck" Also full air systems range from 3k with no remote, to 4-5k installed with remote. A lot of dubs in Toronto are on air. IE: http://flic.kr/p/an6qvX However I do agree that the FRS/BRZ isn't really a car to be on bags, but who am I to say? :P

I think it looks awesome!! Would I bag mine, no I wouldn't because I've been there done that. I think the car looks great though and the lines look awesome when there's no wheel gap and body laying on the ground. I lower all my cars but not to the point where it diminishes the handling characteristics.
Nice job man!! I love it!! Let the haters hate.

I spent $3200 shipped on my air ride setup i have on my GTI. Accuair e level with the same performance bags from that video i posted. Its more expensive than coilovers, but at least i can change the height in case a steep driveway or a massive speed bump blocks my path. Not to mention i can make them as stiff or as lax as i want. I have driven and rode in a bagged mustang and one on coils, we drifted both and they both felt about even. Yes you can blow a bag but that's only $60 to replace, the reward far outweighs the cost and very slight risk. Last edited by crildz; 10-18-2012 at 06:20 PM. |
