Air ride is awesome from what I hear. Has its benefits, has its downfalls. Just gotta do your research and pick what fits you best.

Personally i didnt see the need for bags since they are heavy, and i have plans of heavily tracking the car and dont want the risk associated with bags bursting or something else.

When lowering the RC350 (using springs or coils) and/or increasing wheel size, there are some complaints about rubbing. Can anyone clarify where the rubbing occurs? I know it usually occurs in the front, but what part of the wheel/tire rubs? Inside of the fender liner, the outside fender liner, or something else?

Im lowered on 20s and on coilovers, i have a tiny amount of rub in the front and back of fender liners during intense cornering.

I run 20s and usually only ever rub in the front. If I hit a dip in the road too fast I will rub on the fender liners. I also rub when reversing only while turning with the wheel cut. This only started when I changed my front tires from a 30 aspect ratio to a 35.
