      please
      How's this for track footage?

      This is real time attack boys and girls. Up against nothing but coil springs and 95% of the cars entered were trailered track only toys. We did this with a car that has A/C, a back seat and a fricking DVD player for gosh sake. No roll cage, no safety harness...140mph+ on bags. We're not messing around here. The car was supposed to have 550whp but was down in the 450 range when we took it to the dyno right after the event. And I was just learning the track for the first time. I welcome your comments!

        This is awesome, I am a guy who loves the practicality of air suspension but have always run static for performance reasons. You are giving me less reasons to stay static. What was the response of the other entrants when they realized your car was on bags?

          In to know this as well. I've been prowling your site and keep leaning towards bags as well. Don't get me wrong. I love the handling I have now on my coils but there's some instances where height adjustability on the fly comes in handy.

                  Darksyde-

                  Needless to say amongst a crowd of racers, they were astonished to see it was on air! While our results were middle of the pack people noticed. And for the record, every car in front of us was a caged, track only car with wings and splitters that was trailered to the event. We drove it 650 mile to VIR in comfort, then strapped on the tires and set the dampers and we hit the track. Pretty darn convenient! And since this was my first time at the track, I was learning every session. So I left maybe 3 seconds on the table. Not to mention that the car is owned by my boss at Air Lift...wrecking it was not an option!

                  We will be posting more cool stuff in the near future. We just released a killer kit for the 350z/G35 that handles amazingly! More good track stuff on bags coming soon!

                  Thanks to all you guys who are tuning in. I enjoy keeping you in the loop as we tell our story of air AND performance!

                      Forgot to update this thread with the latest! In case you have never heard of Grassroots Motorsports magazine, it is the premier rag for amateur road racing type motorsports in the USA. I happen to be a subscriber...but I digress.

                      This crowd is the hardest to please when it comes to the idea of air suspension. Running this event with the Subaru is one of the ways we are spreading the message of "tracking on air". Even if you will never track your car, isn't it good to know that you can still tear up the pavement if you wish?

                        In case you forgot that this car was not just a track toy...here it is on it's way to H2O with some fresh 19" Rotiforms all slammed out! (little dip in pavement make it look MUCH higher than it sits on flat ground).
