I know its been posted in one of my threads but Ive been thinking more and more about it. To the point I need to ride in an aftermarket (obviously will not be a 3/s) air ride to see if I like it. Coil overs suck for street driving. Yes they lower your car, yes it handles great. No they are not conferrable no matter what brand or setting. Only thing that was semi okay was the tien spring replacement and even that I didnt like a lot.
Given that I need ground clearance for aspects of my driveway, being able to drive around at stock ride would be amazing, but then at a car meet, or whatever drop it down so it looks right.
Mainly my question is, what vehicle would have similar character that I might be able to find an aftermarket air ride? Anyone actually ride in a vehicle with aftermarket air ride?

Re: Air ride
I kinda want a performance air system. Airlift makes the only one Id touch personally. About 3-4k for the whole deal. You want the one with height plus pressure.

Re: Air ride
The problem with most air rides is they are only set for that comply slammed look. Everything else is secondary. As Ryan mentioned there are a few good ones but they are pricey.
Re: Air ride
I really dont care to spend a shit ton if its exactly what I want. But Im also not spending 4K without riding in one.

Love my kw v3's. They were designed to be a street coilover.

Nope. Lies. Megans suck as much as the rest. People just will not say it and in 20 min rides Im sure they are fine but not day in and day out.

Everybody is different. I prefer my sporty cars to ride like a sporty car. If I wanted it to ride like a couch I'd buy a 90s Cadillac.
I really do enjoy how my 97 rides. I've put 500 miles on it in one day and had zero complaints

Maybe your preload was set up.too tight. Mine rode great and the people that bought them after riding in mine never had a complaint.

Re: Air ride
most coilovers are trash. KW v3's, Feal, Fortune auto, those are the only sub 2k coils i would personally use. Everything else is trash from an objective data driven point of view.

I would have to ride in what your recommending but from what Ive been in all coil overs would be amazing on the track but just suck for daily and honestly suck for my driveway. I 3 wheel on stock suspension at one point. I might get stuck with lowered coil overs.

If you could pay a bit more and change it depending on your mood, why wouldnt you though? Not to mention the fact that its about the same as any coilovers that allow in cabin adjustability, like the tein edfc

Re: Air ride
for what its worth, fortune auto has air cups that sit on top of the coilovers and raise them 2 inches or so, if you wanted coilovers 90% of the time yet still wanted the option of returning to a stock or higher than stock height.
