It doesn't destroy your suspension.

But it does lower its lifespan.

You just have to change your shocks sooner than compared with OEM springs. Most people get it changed by 90k miles, but if it's a mild suspension change with springs, it can last just that long.

Remember, AirBags, are an entirely different setup

And, not a very fair comparison to Coils, Springs setups.

I do love however, the way a car can sit low while hooked up with air bags.

But, you trade off ride quality, and most importantly this makes the car NON-Track ready (i would love to run the track with air).

Not to mention, you have an air compressor in the back of your trunk

Strictly for show But boy does it look goood muahahaha

Today I look underneat my ride on the mechanical jack lift.. I was looking around inside the front fender.. I see some rubber scrape sign and some plastic peel out.. I decide to use plastic cutter and cut the fender liner in half.. I mean I leave the front and rear fender liner on but the middle is gone.. GUESS what.. There are no rubbing noise at all.. Finally, Im happy and didnt hear any scrape... Oh by the way, I will buy two *left and right* extra fender liners just in case whenever I sell my car, I will put a pair of new liner on and throw the old away... Smart move huh..
