Not my flavor....Just seems to take away from all that makes the V the V......But to each their own, and it does look like a quality customization job

I do like the airbags though. It'll still ride smooth and it gives you the option of raisng it and lowering it unlike coilovers.

Not a fan at all. Don't think it would do that well on a road course.

Airbag suspensions do well on a roadcourse. But seriously, how many of us run our cars on a roadcourse. We mod our cars but never go to a track. I just like the fact that u can raise it and lower it and not tear up the bottom.

I don't think I can recall one racing series that has a air bag setup in it? Don't know about you guys but after years of taking my cobra's road course racing I can't wait for spring so I can go test out the V.

I almost ran my car at MSR by Houston last year but a project at work made me back out last minute. I am hoping to hit up a couple of road courses later this year.

You guys would be surprised how well a good airbag setup handles. K-Sport makes a really good kit, but at near $4,500. I was in an is-f bagged with k-sports and it was awesome.

a-bomb... you can certainly raise and lower a car with coil-overs, just not with the touch of a button.

Oh i agree. The car is hideous. I was just emphasizing on not knocking an air ride if its done appropriately.

You would think a person with that type of disposable income would atleast be able to spell "ostridge" correctly. Oh well it is not a secret why America is falling behind the rest of the world.
