ive got some mates who have pumped over £50k into their cars and being honest have totally ruined them but theyre happy and they get lots of scene points.

Although i prefer a static drop, i do like a slice of air ride.... thing i dont like is tiny rims to achieve the lowz, makes the cars look like roller-skates.

They dont drive them that low. Its all about show impact, however, i agree. The cars handle like a joke on air ride. A decent set of coilies, and a subtle drop to improve looks impresses me more than seeing a splitter dropped on the floor.

Have you ever been in a car with air?? They dont handle like a joke at all, maybe most of you should stick to motorsport shows as you seem to say the same thing every year, don't like air, they don't drive them blah blah blah, you know the format if you't don't like it or don't get it save your money.  

Maybe joke was the wrong word. I mean, they arent comical. Yes, they look great. Im not denying that. I loved the show. I think you are mistaken and have taken my comments out of context.

I saw what looked like a GTI that had been in an accident on the Motorway when we left.  Didn't get much detail, anyone from here?

Think that's a slightly naive opinion, how many cars have you been driven in with air? and I mean driven?
I had FK coilovers on before, and the air is far more comfy and responsive than those ever were.
I know air isn't everyones cup of tea, especially on this forum as it is more of a performance board. But some people need to be a bit less ignorant of what others like.

I saw some top performance cars being towed in, and trailered, at least mine drove in under its own power.

Look forward to them mate, sorry didn't see you for a chat.

I am allowed to have an opinion TBQFH. Already stated, that joke probably wasnt the best word.  :popcornsoda:

I love cars on air ride set ups they look great and have been built for that slammed show look but I do like slammed cars and have done static to the floor on a few cars myself in the past.

^^^ why not a gti or a R32?

think there are some poor opinions of air ride on this forum unless you have some solid evidence of air being crap in a performance car then i think its an opinion best kept in front of the keyboard.

also i best to mention the fact that air is sh*te and ruins the handling etc.. to the owner of Plush Automotive and the 626hp supercharged RS4 which was at UD (which is on air) and tell him to take it off straight away because the people in the know on here say it rubbish and handes like crap

Why didn't manufactures consider Air if it's that good? is it costly?

If it handled as good as a say a race set up it would be fitted to race cars but as an everyday set up that is flexible then it's great and I love it on stuff people don't like to see it done to as its a break from the normal. We can't all like the same thing and it's good to see people pushing things

That video goes to prove nothing. Neither does saying a car with 600bhp has air so it must be up for the job.... Nope, doesn't prove anything.

Do BTCC cars run on air? Clio cup? DTM? F1? WRC cars?

Air serves 2 purposes and 2 only, and that is going low when sat still, and being able to raise it so you can actually drive the thing.

(4 things if you include burning your arches to the bare metal and smashing sumps) ;-)

don't know why your freakin del boy, I'm a big fan of air ride, but i don't need to go in one to know its not as good as a good RACE suspension, why not a gti or r32 because there supposed to be a performance car, to me air ride is decked scrapping the floor looking awesome, not much point having 200 bhp
