Your comments Please on "Air Struts"

I came across Air Struts from Air Ride Technologies not too long ago while surfing through the net...

http://www.ridetech.com/productinfo/airstrut.asp

The claims are, "The AirStrut™ offers valving adjustment at the top of the strut stem... under the hood where it is accessible, not under the car. This valving adjustment means that you can choose soft for ride quality and cruising, all the way to full firm for autocrossing and ultimate handling performance.

The AirStrut™ is typically set up to deliver a 2" drop at ride height and up to 4" when deflated for parking lot profiling. Now there is no need to endure the harsh ride quality of lowered coils or air cylinders... or to cut up your car just to get it low. Bolt on the AirStrut™ and GO!"

I am interested in them bc they say 2" lower + no need to endure harsh ride quality...

Has anyone tried this product before or know of other people who have?? It's not the same as Air Bags by the way.

Comments please =)

Looks very interesting.

SCC had a Praxis Air Suspension system on their Project STi, and it looked to be a pretty good investment. If the price stays around $1k, it's going to be an attractive alternative to coilover systems.

But they don't have an application for 1G's ... Ah, well. I'm sticking to my HB's.

My buddy has that setup for his s10(which is alot different than a dsm) but he loves the adjustment. I haven't got to really check it out yet, but he said it is great

I can't imagine airbags have much in the handleing dept. I might show some interest if I heard from a few preformance drivers who used and liked them but I never have.
