AIR RIDE

[dfunkdj]

Has anyone instaled a air ride on there Pt? I am planning on getting one but not sure wich on is best . I read the artical about the dropzone kit it looked good. I have also heard about one from E&A.I want a kit that will let me run my pt long distances at 70-80 mph and give me problems with the handeling. i want to use air so I can slam the car at shows Lower it to drive but still get in and out of anyplace with out scraping the bottom.

how does an air ride make the car ride?? very stiff?? just curious

I have air suspension by VIAIR. To slam the front, I'll need drop-spindles but otherwise, the front wheels barely miss tucking tire and the back ones tuck. I can lift higher than stock and, obviously, drop quite low. I've topped 110 mph on this air suspension with no problems. For best handling on air, get one valve per wheel and run the hose from the tank to each wheel, even if you keep your sway bars and only run front and rear controls. That way, air doesn't shift from one side to the other in a hard curve.

Oh, and the ride was bouncy on the stock 16" wheels but I now have 18X8 chrome wheels and it has smoothed out a lot...not NEARLY so much bouncing and it's not stiff or jolting...just smooth. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
