Default Aigbag Suspension

Has anyone ever fitted airbag suspension to a S2000?

What are yours thoughts on them? Would it completely ruin the handling of the car?

Bose magnetic is more modern.

Leave airbags to Audi/PAG.

for what purpose? if you want to lift and drop the suspension, I'd advise against it on the S2000 as it isnt what the car is about and may well take the suspension outside its operational design area (i.e. it could collapse) when used as the car was intended.

if you really must go this route (ie you have a Show only vehicle) try:

www.rayvernhydraulics.com - Ray is the only guy I'd trust to do anything like this.

Oh, not those silly macdonalds carpark jerk-off suspensions, surely?

That must be CC's latest disguise!

Sorry Neil, but I find the whole concept ridiculously pointless. I can see the humour in many Kustom Kars, but that just doesn't do it.

If I wanted to chuck milkshake all over the naugahyde, it'd better involve a petite brown girl whose name I forget - funny video anyway.

Anyway, the reason Hondas have a poor secondary ride is the double wishbones have a necessarily short suspension travel.

It wouldn't really be suitable.
