Airrex VS AirLift?

[iJason]

Title.

AirLift has more dampening control.. I don't know. Pros? Cons? Help!


Also; this part kind of belongs in the wheels section but if I get bagged, will I have a problem if I get the following wheel specs?
F: 19x8.5 +33 - 225/35/19
R: 19x9.5 +43 - 245/35/19

I want no fender rubbing and no pulling/rolling. If those don't work, I'll just have to go smaller.

As for the negative comments about bags; unless you've give the performance tuned bags for the FRS/BRZ a drive, keep them to yourself.

With some camber while lowering, you shouldn't have rub issues.

More damping control is better, IF it's effective. I'm not familiar with either kit, do they use the compressed air for the damping, or oil like a conventional shock?

Effectively, and predictably adjusting the flow of oil inside a conventional shock, in an effort to adjust the damping rates, with a needle valve is excruciatingly hard. The tolerances for the valves have to be ridiculous. If the air setups are using air as there damping medium aswell, this would orders of magnitude harder.

I don't think I'll be cambering.. In the winter I want my tires as flat as possible. It's RWD obviously, so sliding could become an issue. I suppose I'll have to go smaller then?

Just put your winter tires on your stock rims. You don't want that wide of a tire for snow anyway.

I don't have winter tires
Suggestions?

Goodyear Nordic. They're cheap as hell, but they'll last about four winters, and they work. I'd imagine your winter conditions are similar to ours, some ice, but mainly snow and slush that's hard to clear from the tread of the tire. If so, these are great.

What they don't do is anything performance orientated.

If you're looking for a performance winter tire, you'll have to ask someone else.

Cheap is good haha. Bags will cost me a little over 4 grand. Plus new rims and camber plates, along with the 19" tires for my summer wheels. That's as much bloodsucking as my wallet will take for now. & I'll have the stock rims that I'll stick on those goodyears.
