I would love being on air but yeah the expenses and potential issues are drawbacks.

Bro I’m young and planning to buy a gs350, I was wondering how is the feel with airbags when lowered and driving. Like not super low but just low enough so it looks good. I was thinking of getting bags because I can control the ride height easily and when needed. If I had bags I would probably have it like 3-4 fingers lowered when driving what do you think? Sorry for the shitty way I asked these questions.

“Bags aren’t good for Motorsport” They were literally invented for Motorsport.

[@oneplumpboi5317]

Invented for it =/= Good for it. Very few select air suspension work well for motorsport. And they're not the same as stanced suspension. Coil-overs are a tried and tested method. Drifting, Rally, Circuit Racing, Stock racing and even f1.

[@brandonmiller9155]

@@oneplumpboi5317 are they tried and tested or are the required by regulations. Or are bags banned by regulations because they worked too well.

[@oneplumpboi5317]

@@brandonmiller9155 The regulation wasn't banning bags because they were too effective, it was banning active suspension, which is essentially computer-controlled hydraulics. There is no bagged system, the pressure is contained within the cylinder. And I would assume it uses fluid instead of air, because fluid is faster to pump is less compressive, thus having more accurate flow. Bags are banned because when they split at 200-300 km/h, the rapid vibration can cause instability potentially causing a crash and death. They've tested it for gravel rally, and ofcourse, that was an utter failure. The constant heat generated from the blows to the suspension caused that bag to overhead, delaminate and fail. Nowadays, people bag their cars as a flex of money and to make the car look more aggressive, not to perform better. Thus why i said in my intial comment "Very few select air suspension work well for motorsport. And they're not the same as stanced suspension." And btw, bagged suspension was not invented for motorsport. It was built for comfort
