Title: Air suspension
Post by: chrisJDM on September 22, 2005, 09:58:37 AM
i know there must be a few rx7s out there with air suspension, just wondered wot peoples experiences of it were?? is it reliable??  wot are the disadvantages?  one of my mates said that it is only really for show cars and affects handling quite badly, is that true?

have been considering getting it but dont know enough about it at mo

And thats why Range Rover fit it to their chelsea tractors....

But it shouldnt be fitted to a sports car that you want to crive to any form of performance level.
