Downside to air ride?
Hey i might be getting my air setup at the end of february, i was wondering if im going to have any problems with it. The car is my daily driver and i was just wondering if there are any problems with bagging a daily driver

my car rides like a dump truck...... not the most comfortable thing to drive on a daily basis..... but ive never effed with my softness settings.
other than the ride..... driving it on a daily basis you just run abit more of a risk of blowin a bag/line/fitting but overall air ride is very reliable.
ive had 1 problem with mine and it was my fault that it happened anyways.

my setup was an older setup and had rubber airline coming directly out of the bag...... long story short i zip tied the rubber line to a tranny line and after about 4 weeks it melted threw the rubber hose and blew it. easy fix though and got the newer steel braided line

problems are usually the install jobs. If you got a person who knows what they're doing. then you'll be fine. If your clueless on installation, then you'll have a bunch of leaks or line rubbing from not routing it safetly from anything, etc.

I wouldn't mind bagging mine, they say it's better for performance suspensions anyways, but damned NHRA regs say no racing on air suspension unless it's factory equipped.

i hated it as an every day car. if u take a fast turn it doenst work out to well, and it rides like shit. and the fact that i blew a bag the first week. lol but if the ride quality doesnt matter to you, then go for it, ur gonna love it.

dude i dunno what is the problem going on here with air ride the ride reminds me of lowering springs, and when i took corners it sure didnt suck for me
i drove my alero with air ride for 2 yrs even in the chicago winter and still had no problems, i personally love the perofrmance of air ride and the drviablity form air ride

all air struts should all ride the same. its an air strut. u can turn the settings from soft to firm but i tried them all and it still rides rough. when i first rode in a bagged vehicle, it was a truck and it rode sooo smooth and i thoght my alero would ride like that, i didnt think that trucks have bags and cars have bag struts. lol
