New to Air Suspension
Are you curious about Performance Air Suspension™, but you’re not really sure what it’s all about? Keep reading to learn the need-to-know basics of air suspension and how this upgrade can take your ride to the next level.
SO, WHAT IS PERFORMANCE AIR SUSPENSION?
Your vehicle’s suspension is the system of parts that connects the frame to the wheels, thus isolating it from the road allowing for relative motion. In addition to supporting the total weight of your vehicle, suspension systems affect stance, ride height, handling, and ride quality.
In vehicles with a factory coilover suspension, part of this system is a steel coil spring that goes over the shock or strut. In an air suspension system, the coil is upgraded to an enclosed flexible rubber membrane, known as an air spring. These air springs can then be inflated and deflated at the touch of a button, allowing for instant adjustability to tune in the qualities mentioned above.
WHY CHOOSE AIR?
When it comes to achieving the perfect stance for your vehicle, you have three options: lowering springs, coilovers, or air suspension. For years, coilovers were the preferred solution because of their adjustable damping and, in some cases, ride height. Today, performance air suspension provides the same benefits as coilovers, but its versatility and adjustability are unmatched.
Air suspension is the only suspension choice that allows you to easily adjust ride height on the fly with the touch of a button. When your car is equipped with air suspension, you can…
- Slam it down for an aggressive show stance that is lower than any coilover.
- Raise it up to clear road obstacles like speed bumps or steep angle transitions.
- Enhance your ride quality for comfort using damping and air pressure adjustments.
- Create a track-ready set-up with stiff damping, progressive-rate air springs, and, in many cases, adjustable camber.
