has anyone hear every put any kind of air ride suspension on a dsm? and would that ruin the handling? just curious thought that might be kinda original and set me apart.

 

Air ride suspension is a luxury car and show car component... its heavy and unweildly... I wouldnt suggest it for any race or speed type situations.

 

if you want adjustment capability and ride quality then get coiilovers. Like he said, its for show cars

 

yes sir.....i have a full air ride system on my 2g. tuckin 20's, 10 switches, 3 wheel motion, FBSS, Pancake, see saw, the works....once you learn the switches you can find te "soft spot" thats totally comfortable 2 ride @. All mine is mounted underneath my car,.tank and all!...So inside can remain stock. And as far as handling, I assume its not as great as coilovers but i was amazed how stiff the cylinders are. The compressed air doesn't give . My car is not a dd tho but I assume it could be.

 

i think air ride technologies has a race application for air suspension, but getting coilovers is more towards daily drivers and they last longer if you look at the air rider boots and the coil springs.
