Nice work, dude... I'm hoping to get my junk running, soon. Making steady progress, but it's taking forever.
You HAVE hydraulics or you're planning on them?
I'm bagging my junk. I'm not worried about dancing it, just want the air ride for cornering... and to be able to lay that bish on the ground when I park it.

No. Air ride provides better cornering than any suspension system out there. Hot Rod actually did an article on it a while back- Air Ride Technologies had a bunch of people out at a road course and let 'em rip. Everyone agreed that they never drove anything with such a quality suspension.Originally posted by Blaze86Vic2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

You will have to buy the most expensive shit out there and have custom made big ass sway barsm because air springs have much lower spring rates. If you spend a ton of money you can get performance out of air ride, but spend the same money and you will get more out of a conventional spring system.Comment

That article IIRC compared the ART cars to STOCK vehicles. There was also a segment on a TV show that covered the same article.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
