AS many of you know, my company also has a show team (TEAM UNDERGROUND)

Hutch, who is our resident mini-trucker, has told me in the past to \'not deal with that company as the use low end pieces. All the truck forums swear against Airbagit..\'

Just a little inside info, though, its still tempting!

I want coilovers...:(

Me too :-(

damn so tempting. air bag suspension is like an all season suspension. lol crazy low when its summer, crazy high when its winter.

Coilover are adjustable too.

In fact, Tein HybridWagon Dampers are remote adjustable - you adjust the ride height via a remote that controls a hydraulic stytem. No need to go under the hood or anything.

now would something like that remotely adjustable system still give you a performance advantage over the stock suspension?

[///M]

Yes. The adjustable parts are above the standard coilover system - when you adjust it you move the entire shock and spring assembly up and down.

are the airbags the same/similar to this? (http://qualitysound.bose.com/pg/learning/project_sound/suspension_challenge.jsp)

from the videos and specs this bose suspension looks AWESOME!!!

I read a review on the Bose suspension in Popular Science. If you\'re looking for a freakishly expensive suspension, you\'ve found it! Though it would be pretty damn cool to be able to have all the advantages of airbags without any of the drawbacks....

Though as I sit here spouting off... what ARE the disadvantages of airbags anyway?

Most people will tell you they ride like shit :)

Most ppl I know will tell you that although insane amounts of fun, the car will not ride as good. the guy at the shop who install my audio said it \"felt like a rollercoaster\". the other drawback is the tanks etc that you need to have in car.

Ok so what about those \"hybridwagon dampers\"? would they improve or worsen the ride from where it is now?

Basically I think what would really sell me on any suspension is one that could easily be raised to the stock height for winter driving, while providing for a lower stance for cruising/track use... or am I looking for a mythical suspension? :D
