This kit goes so high and drops real low so the extremes would be better illustrated by video than stills. |

| Re: Easy Street Air Ride Announcement!!! TY, but that’s not what I mean, these are air bags...not the softest rides in the world. what I’m talking about (but obviously cannot express my self well enough) is the soft suspension setup that uses air shocks instead of the springs or with them I haven't quite figured it out but it gives the ultimate ride comfort but if you want you can adjust the air pressure and make it stiffer or softer while you driving (I guess you could do that with air bags but that would be hard) and of course lower it. I still don’t think I explained my self clear enough... if I find it ill let you’ll know first hand… I know that type of the suspension setup Mercedes has been using for almost a decade now and so as range rover and etc. but I know their sht is prob outrages price or not…I’m thinking air bags would cost more couse you have to have a lot more sht done and put in the car the with just air ride….but I might be mistaken… if anybody know what I’m talking about please let me know weather I’m right or wrong  |

| Re: Easy Street Air Ride Announcement!!! The systems you are referring to use air bags along with electronically adjusted struts/coil over springs to achieve the ride you are seeking. I also think you may be confusing Hydrolics with air ride. Hydrolic set ups are super hard riding and require special tires and tire pressures. Air ride like the one featured here is not harsh at all. I have had it on my car for three years with no problems. Big pot holes or bumps can be jarring but regular road imperfections are no big deal. The HPS system I am running in my Gen 1 has the adjustability you seek but the price seems to be out of reach for most Scion builders. The system featured here can be adjusted in pressure as you go down the road...as a matter of fact this digital system adjusts pressure in all four corners individually according to heat,cold weight in the car, cornering ect. always maintaining the perfect ride setting that you set into the controller. |
