#1831, "RE: Check out turbo 4's Air Ride Eclipse" In response to In response to 9
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.
