It has never really been a viable option before with costs and its only recently progressed to the high level it's at currently

But bagging a zed doesn't feel right. I wanted to do mine before I got in and drove the thing

I know people say air performs just as well, but how many people track a car on air?

ur not gonna tell me inflated bags can endure some sporty abuse?

well they probably can. The guy with the cupra k1 at the S|W meet drives his car ridiculously hard and is bagged.

He only speaks highly of bags.

To be honest bags are convenient, and given my history with lowering cars the traditional way and UK roads, it has a higher potential to go wrong.

okay, then y isn't it used in motorsports? where adjustable ride hight might actually be handy then just a novelty

Airrex raced a Mini in a series in Japan with positive results. I looked into it but 4.5k was too much of a gamble for a suspension I hadn't tried. Decided to keep my Clubsports.

I've never looked into air, as an option on anything, how much does it roughly cost all in?

Does anyone use hydro's anymore?

z4's are nice but i'm not massively sure on them.

2.5 and 3K

get a t2 flatbed again

[Jorge]

I paid much less than 2.5k. But did it myself. Plush wanted £2700 for the same kit I have fitted, supplied only.

You've got to have seen the AirLift video about track it?

Done that, too tall for it, not doing it again.
aha.

That airlift vid is totally Rad. Hip. Happening. SRS.

Air ride is for people that keep their cars longer than a month then haha.

WHat coilovers are needed to drop an S2k on its belly? Only pricey ones? i guess Gaz dont go low enough?

[Jorge]

My friend is on Racing Logics, but this is the absolute lowest.


He said pick a good one carefully, if the geometry is fucked, its expensive to sort.
"Get him to check all his geometry adjuster bolts first as they seize and are a fortune to replace
Don't want shit geo with lows

Ah... Well if the adjuster bolts are free you just need driveshaft spacers! If they aren't youre looking at £1200+ to sort so that's a priority when buying a s2k"

Ah Cheers for that! thats a good bit of info to know, see its not all a load of rubbish you hear on forums
And yeah, i dont think thats low enough for me, looks nice in red though!

[Jorge]

It is about right I think for a daily. Runs low enough with the diffuser, stops you getting to most places.

[sCrapp]

I like being able to go lower if i want to, even if i never have to aha.
What size are the wheels on that?

[Jorge]

17s I think. But yeah, then when you want that extra 10mm, you can.

[JonnyBoi]

Saw that at the meet looked awesome. (he was behind me drifting it round the entrance on the way in)

How much he wanting for it? haha

He was putting it sideways on the way to the meet aswell
Also it sounds amazing in the tunnels between the M11 and M1 on the M25!.

and this has literally just popped up haha.
