DSE vs Air Ride

[1Fine69]

i hae the 3 inch dropped springs in the rear with qa1 shocks in the rear and there coilover system in the front....how would air ride or a 4 link handle compared to that? i have a things like framconnectors and such but it seems that what i have now is not up to par with the air ride or quadra link.

I don't have either... I would think that the DSE is probably better for all out performance than the Air-Ride because of the longer arms, and the tuning ability. When you want to increase your spring rate you don't have to raise the car. When you raise the rate on the Air-Ride, the car will raise up, then then all of your alignment specs will change, not to mention roll centers, roll couple, axis... I do believe the Air-Ride is probably better in the rear than the leaf springs though.

I went from 3' drop leaf spr w/Qa1's, DSE offset shackles and G/W catagory five spherical bearings instead of bushings. To Air ride Tech suspension w/coil overs instead of air shocks and the difference is night and day. No more wheel hop, eliminated most of the oversteer. i even had the rear end move from side to side and hit the inner fender wells. I am running 315"s with mini tubs. and have none of those problems any more.
