Default quick ?'s on toms suspensions!

i dont have a gs but still wating(2 yrs now) well i had this question since i dont really know about suspension that much... can the toms braces be put on with air suspension or no?? also if now i would like to know if the toms brace would make the ride rougher than normal and if so can some struts just change this???

thanks guys

i am not sure about the 6 links, but i think the front and rear braces should be ok?

and yes, it stiffens up the whole chassis, so the ride will be affected a bit, but not too bad imho. the 6 links will affect it more though imho, coz' it basically makes the rear suspension even more non-indpendent

well i don't think the braces and 6 links are going to help the bounce much though, coz' that's the whole car going up and down, nothing to do with flex?

if you want less bounce, you should get air runner imho

AIRRUNNER = air suspension

Airrunner is just a brand type of air suspension kit, like Skipper or Air Bomber, etc. It's not a different system of using air as your suspension or anything. Hope it clears things up.

i will just let john to come in coz' i never even try to study these stuff. he has air suspension on the gs and it rides like crap. but he has air runner on his ls400 and it rides a lot better. he said it's better coz' on the gs it's all air, but on the ls400 it's air on top of shocks or something like that
