AirRide Tec. 's AirStrut Anybody using?

Just wondering if anyone is running the AirStrut system on the front of the car and how they like it ? How your car corners ? And any dislikes?


Thanks

I have the air strut system from RkSport the previous owner had installed. I much rather have a gas shock system. The body roll is minimal but very unnatural feel to the car. I still have yet to become completely comfortable with it and have owned the car for close to 3 years. I tend to due a lot of spirited driving in the canyons and can only recommend this system to someone that wants to change the comforts of the Camaro ride, basically make the f-body ride like a Cadillac

Not only that, the system is very unreliable, with lines that crack and tear easily. If you're doing any welding on your ride, might as well remove the lines, then replace them when done w/ the welding. The lines melt easily due to the heat.

I'm currently seeking a gas shock set up and plan on getting rid of my system. It was a cool idea and interesting setup, have the air compressor in the spare tire well, w/ air pressure guage in the ash tray along w/ the switches.
