For the price it's not for me......however

If a car is aired with the wheels tucked with a SMALL amount of camber it looks decent..

If a car is aired with shed loads of camber, spaced out and stretched tyres it looks awful...but that's my opinion.

Accuair's Instagram has some quality air'd VAGs...A5s look class air'd

It's an interesting debate.
My personal opinion is I can appreciate air practical yes, also a novelty for the owners of air and if I was to build a large saloon/estate car I would fit it.
But to put it on a "hot hatch"  :sick:
And before you air peeps start crying think of it this way if air handles so well why don't btcc, dtm,lemans series ect ect run air?
I also think air is a bit of a lie.
If you sell you car being x low but then have to raise it up to drive home your car isn't that low.
But it is very practical.

I agree that this will be a back-n-forth issue.
I would summarize it like this.
Bags for extreme looks and a daily driver with mild sportiness in the curvy's. With the addition of a frame notch: https://www.google.com/search?q=mkv+gti+frame+notch&newwindow=1&client=firefox-a&hs=1De&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=hUN3U6uSCtHYoASrvIDoDQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1392&bih=634

Coils for doing business. Do you know of any winning race cars on bags?
