Air ride suspension

Just saw that ksport has an air ride for the EVO X. Has anyone actually seen an evo with it on?

I think air ride is pretty cool and all but isn't air ride something more associated with domestics?

Mini-Trucks, and big box body domestics. I have seen some imports with them, and it looks decent if its a show car. Other then that, STOP.

So I guess nobody here has one with air ride. My question is how does someone make a suspension for a car that nobody will even consider putting it on?

The best suspension systems always trickle down from racing and high end sports cars. I don't know of any Corvettes, Ferraris or Porches with air suspension. I know some of he luxo barges use it like Rolls Royce and Maybach etc. That probably tells you all you need to know.

ksport is not the best suspension etc. company out there, to be polite.
So they need to find i guess the "gap" to sell . Now the air ride definitely is a rare idea in race oriented car market. So maybe that is why they make one.
I think you get the idea.

I always thought about this to. If you just cruise with your car and like turning heads it could be considered an option, instead of driving the evo "properly" haha.

Would you install 26" diamonds rims in a formula 1?
What’s the point of an air suspension in an evo?
