      Air suspension questions

      Just curious if anyone has used an air bag suspension on a street/strip car and what their thoughts on them were.



      Can an air bag suspension setup be used successfully on a car that you will also want to handle the curves really well also? Or are they primarily just for show?
      Thanks,
      Andrew

      air bag

      that is very arguable. After seeing the performance from the Dream car garage Nova and riding in my friends 73 Camaro both of which are air bag equipt, I see no hindering factors for a mild track car. I think air containment failure as one. Hate to loose pressure doing 80mph on a straight away.

      there is actually someone working on a performance version of this. It has settings and can sense the changes in body roll and adjust accordingly.

      heres a link with all the info
