[QUICK SIX]

I have had my GN for about a year now and I am liking at upgrading my suspension. I have been liking at the air ride system and at the C5 corvette system form Savitske Classic and custom. I would appreciate any information that anyone can give me about the two of these products

Agreed, quality products, and do an 8 valve set up so there is no pressure movement side to side. I am almost ready to do my air ride install, and have been amassing parts for a few months to make it a quality set up. When done right there is better than OEM handling, as well as the cool adjustability. Skimping in quality on bags, valves, and compressors will make air ride very frustrating. Save $, so it once, do it right. Thats my $.02

It's up to you...... if you want to show it off a little more and drop it in the weeds at shows, go with Air Ride. If you just want a low stance and good handling, and good brakes, go with the AFX package! Either way will be bad as$.

check this out I've been looking at this for a while.

Also look at their rides tab at the top. Some of these cars actually handle the track with these systems.

As always do your homework and you'll be happy.

JESUS! For that price, I hope the car comes with it too! I bet it's an awesome kit, I personally couldnt justify spending that much money on it.

Do you have the web site for the AFX package.

Can I use the air bags with this set-up.

 

[jdpolzin]

I wouldnt see a need other than dropping it at a show. The whole point of this package is to make the car handle by correctng poor geometery and lowering the car 7/8". You can adjust for more lowering with your spring. If it still isnt low enough for you, you can buy adjustable ride height lowers.

i would say handling is going to be alot better.,my buddies truck there full ride air up is about 5 inches off the ground.And I can tell you from driving it there is less give to everything and if it gives to much you can always air it up where it needs it to make it corner tighter.

If you want optimum handling, skip the air ride, it can be made to handle very well, but it still is not up to the level conventional suspension upgrades can take you w/ a package set up. Its better than it was 3-5 years ago,just not all the way there yet.

I agree!
