the air ride (ride quality and handling wise) is just meh... honestly, it took a few days to get used to... at first, it felt VERY wierd/uncomfortable/unsafe and honestly I was a bit worried while driving the thing... but im used to it now and it 'feels" much better now... idk its wierd and hard to describe... the comfort and ride quality is actually worse... everyone asks me that thinking it'd be better... its actually worse... its much more stiff and I now realize how ****** these roads are around here... theyre HORRIBLE! but the air ride is something I'm glad I did... in the long run it should save me money with allowing me to get up my driveway safely and even gas stations and parking lots... it also allows me to put the car fairly low once parked at a car show which makes it look much better

air ride is all the way down in the front... the rear I can go much lower but obviously that would look wierd... honestly, I didnt want to be able to slam the car to the ground... its about perfect as to where I want it when all the way down... heres the thing with air ride... air lines can break and if that happens then your driving home with no air in your struts hence having the strut bottomed out... my wheels are too wide to tuck so if an air line breaks I can still get home or to a body shop... if I was able to lower the body all the way to the ground and an air line brakes, I would now rip of my fender... my wheels are too wide to tuck hence why I have it set to where I do... its not touching the wheel but I can barely get my finger in there

I hear ya. That'd suck to ruin those fenders! My neighbor builds frame-laying show trucks, so I'm fairly well-versed in air suspension.
It looks great, though! What are the wheel and tire specs?

wheels are 18x8 with a +25 offset and tires are 235-40... I could POSSIBLY tuck these... but thats not what im looking for and with the tires I put on these, I would run them down in a heartbeat and at $200 a tire, thats not what im looking to do haha

that also goes to show... this kit is not THAT much wider than stock

and BTW... the rear tires DO tuck... the front is very close to tucking

 

[06tiburonofdoom]

Yeah, a tuck is definitely obtainable, but it looks great like that! You can tell you kept function in mind.
Aww man, RT-615s? I wish I would've known! I've got a place that could get you those for $150 a piece. Next time you need tires, definitely let me know! Or anything wheel related, really... Haha

damn wish I woulda known... O well... The tires are great grip wise (obviously haha) but if I woulda known I was gunna do air ride ahead of time, I woulda never bought these... my cars performance and handeling has just decreased drastically from the air ride and the car is never aligned perfectly so they'll wear much quick... and these tires throw up rocks like its their job... everytime I drive this car on almost every rode I can just hear the tires throwing up rocks in my wheel well :3_plzdie:

What air ride are you using? Sounds like you don't have enough air in the struts. Air ride done right should be 10x better than stock.

well air ride systems have a sweet spot where the ride is best... Im not worried about finding my "sweet spot"... I dont want to go riding around with my front 4 inches from the tire and my rear sitting on my rear tire just because the ride is better... within a 2 inch range of where I drive the car, the ride is much stiffer... I can not compare to stock suspension... sometimes the ride is okay and sometime it is very rough... the ride height can never be set exact every single time you go to drive the car so a it varies day to day drive to drive... but I can in no way shape or form compare it to my stock springs

the air ride setup im using is a setup for show purposes and for those who want to be able to slam their car to the ground... not for a better ride quality... if the ride quality was soo much better, everyone would upgrade to air ride because there would be soo many pluses to it

Most cars equiped with oem air ride the hieght is computer controlled. Some cars even have the option of firm or soft ride by increasing or decreasing pressure inside the car. I have had two cars equiped with air ride. The first one at stock height it felt like floating on a cloud which I did adjust manually all the time. I also had a more performance based car with air ride that was much firmer and I lowered it to stiffen it up a little more. For being air ride it handled well and I never had a problem with it other than a leak in a bag.

I think the main purpose most don't go with air ride is the cost. Cost of the equipment and the cost of the maintence. It's not cheap and coilovers are better option imo.
