This is turbo 4's Air Ride Eclipse. I've talked to him a few times on dsmtalk. He's spent mucho casho on his suspension. Looks awsome though. The quick adjustablitiy is mind boggeling. Well, at least I think so.

Yup its really cool when you can raise it in driveways or to work on your car. All these kits range anywhere from $1000 to 1700 but the ride is usually pretty bad. Also, most people I know say that it starts leaking over time. I think the cylinders start leaking...

Also, I forgot to say that depending on the system, some can go a lot HIGHER than stock height. At least about 4inches higher than stock. The different price of systems depends on how quickly you want it to drop and raise, for example if you want to compete with hydraulics...

Let me clarify a little - I didn't mean to say the ride is really bad, but that its generally worse than a spring and shock combo. There's also the safety issue that some people are concerned about. Also, I know a guy whose car died on the freeway due to engine probs, and then his air bags wouldn't go up, and he ended up scraping the whole bottom of the car getting it on a tow truck. But overall, it shouldn't be that big of a problem. A lot of trucks use air bags with competition systems. Its just that almost every car in the body shop has had at least one minor leaking problem with one of their air bags.
