jon_dragon Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Anybody know anything about air ride? I want to lower my supra but I would also like to keep the ability to go down certain streets with speed humps ect. Will air ride knacker the handling? What other options do I have?

Abz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 From what I have read it will ruin the handling, better of getting a lift kit if that is what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think hydraulics have come a long way. I know someone who has that on a civic and says it find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Air ride set ups, decent ones anyway, cost £££s and arent renowned for sporty handling, you can lower a car on adjustable coil overs and still leave it useable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 There was a test done on 3 different cars. I think one was a golf r32. And they put them round a track. Standard suspension, coilovers and air ride and ride produced the fastest lap on all 3 car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 wish you never showed that video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'd never put air on a supra. The end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_dragon Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hmm. Food for thought. I like the 3 presets in that video rather than a seemingly infinite range of movement. I remember driving a passat on air ride, I came off a roundabout and it was snaking all over the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
