But how is it with the hardness on NOT the normal hide!! I also think that air-ride is more show... but for real adjustments on your car not worth it..

If I do something on fast higher en lowering in the far futher I will go hydraulics with accumulators.. the hardness and stifness of the supsension can set on your own wishes at EVERY HIGHT!!!
