Default Cons on air suspension

Hello!!!
I am like an inch closer to get full air suspension from air lift with struts and etc. what am i sacrificing here and what are the cons? will i lose my Engine Revs Higher? Working alongside the throttle is the transmission?. i know when in sport +, the transmission will adjust its pre-programmed shift points and hold gears for longer, allowing you to rev straight to the redline. if i install air suspension will i lose this? or just dampening on the suspension? thanks

You can still go into sport and sport+. The only thing you'll lose out on is the dampening part of the settings.

You won't lose anything in terms of functionality. With airbags, you have more benefits of changing your suspension settings.

Contact us for Airlift Performance parts and Accuair!

We use Airlift Performance for most of our items, Airlift just released a system for the RC too.
