Is the lowness making you scurred John? If it is really that bad then yes, get the air suspension, but isn't Air Ride Technologies the best system out there? They have track days all the time. Look into them instead, I've never heard of these guys

i have no idea which ones are good. I want something that is durable and is proven to be good. I still wanna go to the twisties and drive my car the way a V8 should be driven. I am driving it slower than my 100hp xA

Airbagit.com have a very bad rep here in the UK, alot of companies import there stuff as it's cheaper than the UK manufacturers, but it does get rated very poorly.
The guy who installed my air ride has fixed so many messed up abi.com kits!

Just a heads up from across the pond

+1 they are supposed to be the best, I'd rather get their universal kit than the kit from some fly-by-night
