plus - adjust height to where ever you want

minus - lots of weight, handling goes to poo

summary - money better spent on spring/coilover/shock combo

Exactly... and a whole lot of a PITA. I had air suspension on a '59 Beetle and it was cool for a while... gets old when you have to maintain it all the time so it won't leak and if it does you either have to wait for the compressor to get it back up so you can drive it again or just hope one of your valves doesn't go cause then you're flocked. :eek3:

Not enough gain imo.

i think those are available for the wrx at the tirerack. there's another company i think called air rides.. was watching something on spike tv.. pretty impressive. i just my other question would be reliability..does handling really go to poo? or am i better off with a spring/shocks combo to save $$
