Air Ride Suspension??

[KENAN_JAMES]

Has anyone used it? I saw a guy with it on 69 Gto looked good. I think I would like the adjustability. But would like to hear some of the draw back from you guys. I will race my car ocassionally but will mainly be a street car.

IMO, if you're the kind of guy that likes KYB shocks, you might like it. IMO, the problem is there's not real valving going on, it's just the *bag* that gives you some dampening. Jack the spring rates way up, and a really slow/stiff shock seems just fine. Trouble is on anything less then a glass smooth surface tire adhesion suffers.

For looks, and being able to raise and drop a car, they seem really trick.

I would like to install an air ride suspension on my GN using the kit from this company: www.ridetech.com

And I found this thread http://pro-touring.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-1793.html
Scroll down to what Tony@AirRideTech has to say about spring rates,shock asorbers and handling in particular with his kits. It makes a lot of sense to me which is why I want to try it. I would still like to see a demo in action though.

Cool, I'll check it out

Shockwaves at all 4 corners of my '36. Hasn't been down the road yet but I've been in enough air ride vehicles to know that it is GREAT!
