"Number 1....number 2..."




I think it's really cool for a show car. That's basically where that stops for me though.

We will be racing this FRS at SCCA... many dont know much about air suspsension system these days. AirREX has been racing on air suspension for year with proven results.

AirRex is a performance based air system.. you can buy other kits out there that are just ment for lifting and lowering.

So basically something that stiffens up the suspension and makes it almost infinitely adjustable is bad for performance? Damin, all these coilover companies must be doing it all wrong then. All those race cars must be running stock suspension. lol

So this kit rides better than coilovers? And are you running the FR-S stock?

it has the capability to have the best of both worlds. It rides smooth when the dampening is turned down and pressure of the bags are adjusted.

right now the FRS is basicly stock. the only thing we added so far is the air suspension. WE hope to get slicks soon.

Not bad.... but Im still waiting to hear the cost of this kit and how much more weight it adds on with the tank and stuff in the back.
