I love the fact that air is adjustable on the fly. For cursing, driveways and other obstacles in daily situations.

That said, I would never dump my car. I prefer the look of an even gap around the wheel/tire to the fender. Stock is too high, dumped is too low. I would go KW coilover static.

Nice rides!

Totally agreed! I would have went with air but couldn't get over that the compressor and tanks are in the trunk... i use it quiet often.

A good Stealth Install can help with that. Most put these bits in the spare tire well. Installers can get very creative.

Nice!

Yas__Plz · 09-25-2017, 05:48 PM

For spirited driving I don't think they would necessarily hold up the best.
Either way they both look clean AF

I feel the same although I haven't gotten a chance to drive his M4 yet. Thanks!

///M3_F80 · 09-26-2017, 02:52 PM

Both cars looks great!

What are the wheel specs on the bagged M4?

Agent - ///M · 09-26-2017, 09:46 PM

Here it goes lol....
To say air “Dumped” is too low and stock is too high, that’s the beauty of air, it’s adjustable! Cruising on normal streets I’m lower than coils and when the need arises, we rise! As for usability, with airlifts 3P system I feel more stable in corners than when I was on springs. Unless you’re a weekly track whore, the only reason one would choose static vs. air is only one of two reasons. 1) you’re afraid of what your friends will say or 2) you can’t afford it. Be honest and don’t lie to yourself.........

dr.mba · 09-26-2017, 10:23 PM

I'll add a third reason... You want actual performance and don't need the headaches of having to fix air suspension when it fails. Still a nice option those air rides but I would get static any day every day

Static every single day

personally i just have never been a fan of air until now. after seeing how seamless his install was my next car may have it.

This is one of the main reasons I went static. I know KW's will perform...
