I don't have a problem. You are not understanding what I am saying.

My issue (let's not call it problem) is as follows

You (and many other people)  assume/think/are told that air ride makes a car handle badly. Whether this is because .............................
- Am I correct so far?

Do you see what I'm saying now?
 

....I am very grateful that you took the time and effort to reply so fully. I now understand much more about air rides (though personally it is most definitely not for me!).

Btw, I like two of the photos you submitted for the 2014 calendar.

....If you guys are so bored by the subject why bother reading and posting in this thread? Expressing your boredom or criticism without qualifying it does nothing but alienate people from you.

I don't like air rides but at least I am open minded and have some respect for those who do.

Robin - I read it and I'm completely indifferent about it other than it will never, ever appear on a car I own. Along with stretched rubber and other scene sh*t.

That better?  :happy2:

No worries man.
Of course it's not for everyone. I wasn't really a fan of it until I was in a position to try it (and buy it). I probably wouldn't buy it again simply for the cost but the practicality is very very handy.


Hedge - Good for you. Point is pal, we are all enthusiasts and who cares if someone else modifies their car in a different way to you... some may think your car is other "OEM sh*t" but don't say it...we say we personally don't like it but appreciate the work that's gone into it? I hate people in Mk4s who buy a car put 3dsm 005s on it and some coilovers but I'd never mug it off..
And to be fair as RR says if you're not interested in air ride why come in just to moan about those of us who are..  :stupid: :stupid:

I'm not commenting to dig at anyone, but until you witness air suspension for yourself you cant really judge.

 Its so much more comfortable and practical than coils, and i personally think it handles just as well. Accuair done a test, they had that black a4 in the video against a white s4 ( same car) on the best rated coilovers going round a track, and the audi with the air suspension performed just as well as the one with coils.


Its my personal opinion but until you witness it you cant judge.

Depends if you class oil and nitrogen filled spheres as air.   :confused:
