with an air strut suspension, can you still take corners fast, and stuff like that?

Assuming you have the system sectioned off fl,fr,rl,rr you should be ok. If it all on one valve when you turn the air will transfer away from the outside struts filling up the inside giving you a really hard lean.

I think.

Wasn't Volvo working on something like this a number of years ago. They had an active suspension system that would actually lean a car into a turn, instead of the normal lean toward the outside. Goofy to watch, but highly effective. Probably cost prohibitive, also.

I enjoyed the air suspension on my 86 Lincoln Mark VII LSC, but wouldn't trade the soft/firm ride for my 99svt anyday. Be glad that when you contour owners go out to your car in the morning, you dont have to wonder if you will be "lowriding" into work due to air suspension leaks!! wink
