I am curious to see how you guys drive your cars? I want to know if you use it as a daily driver and if anyone is using air ride on a daily driver? I am really wanting to see how well it will hold up as a daily driver before i make a decision on putting a kit on my car.
Dont put air ride on your DD. Even w/o laying it out everywhere it is a PITA. Im on Airlift's Easystreet(2 summers) and have the digital controller. The auto ride height option never hits the pressures i want. It rides like complete @!#$. It creaks and rattles all the time. Im having problems with my driver side front bag holding pressure(it will loose pressure slowly while im driving and wont notice until i turn and hear my tire scraping) and the "leak detection" feature of the digital system will not pick it up. Not to mention a good set of lowering spring and struts or real coil-overs handle better.
Coil-overs are a cheaper and a much better option for a DD. For a show car air ride is a good choice, but for everything else it is a horrible choice. I cant wait till i ditch my bags for a set of Teins.

thats what i was thinking is the ride quality. now which set of teins were you wanting because i seen there were a few different choices?
agreed air on DD is not a good choice.
I'll be going with the Super Streets mainly because i want a quality strut mount. I have ridden in cavs with both Tein Basics and Tein SS(Super Street) and they are about the same. An unboosted OHV cavalier with Tein basics can out run me on a curvy road and i have a supercharged eco.

see i am wanting to build a n/a ld9 for my car so i am guessing that the basics would probably work best?
why would you say that??? the ss's are the best bar none no matter what the power output.
and dont sell the n/a ld9 too short... all motor is plenty capable of a major thrill ride, believe me.
Stand in the corner and SCREAM with me!!!!

I wonder who you could possibly be talking about
As for the basics compared to the SS, unless you plan on hardcore autox or roadcourse time just go with the basics.
They are a VERY capable setup far better then I ever anticipated.

Alexis: Dustin, you're ghey, lol. I am better. I have tits, and tits rule all.
see i would like to try road course racing one of these days in a car. i have a lot of road course karting experience under my belt and would like to give it a shot. im just wondering what everyone thinks
You would do very well with the Basics in that event. I track whore my car as often as possible and love them.
Unless you plan on making the car more of a track car then a DD I stand behind the Basics, the SS are just overkill for that purpose.
