Default AirForce Air Suspension

Has anyone try out AirForce or heard anyone got them?


Just saw a thread related to AirForce suspension

QUOTE
The good part - really good quality coilovers, plenty of height adjustment, good damper adjustments for street, the ability to raise the car to clear obstacles by up to 60mm is tops!

The bad part - lots of failures with the system (has been back 6+ times for repairs and mods) but now working well after C-red modified the tank, the air hose lines and replaced the tank seals with upgrades and so on; you can't lower the front too far as the rim will clip the airtank if the camber is high; the compressor is noisey and now leaks so the tank won't hold air for long periods (eg. overnight).

The 15 gets driven reasonably regularly and I would say they are very comparible to the likes of the Tein coilovers. The range of damper adjustment means that you can soften them right up or keep them ridiculously hard. The coilovers are great. The tanks and setup is an issue and needs to be modified to prevent heart ache.


Anyone facing the similar problem?
