do you ever ride in a car with an air suspension ??? it's awesome and the handling too.....My friends own an air suspension shop so I had the chance to ride some cars and I can't believe how an air suspension have a good handling....I don't see any difference with a stiff drop seriously.... If you didn't ride and air ride yet I wish you to ride one one day because it's unbelievable!!! It change my live (joke)

A good air suspension will handle better than a stock contour. Not as good as most spring/strut combos, but still plenty good. Obviously if you're doing air suspension, handling isn't your top priority, but it's not like it ruins the car.

it's not so much the handling with our cars because we have to use a strut bag. Which means that a strut runs through the middle of the bag - so if your car is set up to have a full bag at your preferred ride height your handling will be better than stock - but if your bag is half or less than half at ride height it will ruin the handling capability. I did lotsa research. I was gonna get them...

Well, I've got a good skid plate that's totally made out of aluminum now.
It has a beefy, yet form fitting aluminum lip that is about 3/8 of an inch high to protect the mirko's chip prone lip. Best part is it has cost me about $25 to make! The lip is about 3/16" thick, and the main part is about 1/8 thick.
I'll post pics and info when I have some decent time with the new skid plate installed so I can show how well it does/doesn't work. I think it will work uber well AND it does look hawt!
Any new update?
We are waiting for the pics!
