Default Suspension Upgrade style....

Hi..Anyone know how is the adjustable suspension goes?..
I saw my buddy with a remote in his car and he can bring his car up and down in 5 second with just a flip of a swith?
Does anyone know what is and how much that run?...
You think those type is reliable for an suspension upgrade..? or you think i should go coilover and shock to lower the car?

those are called"air bags" or air suspension.

solely for show purpose. they run around 1.5g to 3grand for passenger car.
my neighbors are into domestic show trucks..navi, F150, etc.

no real purpose performance wise, it's cool if you into lowrider stuff.

I wouldnt really call airbags a suspension upgrade, more like a modification. The purpose for the bags is just to change the ride height at the flip of a switch. They have poor ride quality and is costly if it needs to be repaired (blown bags, compressor lines, switches, etc). Your allignment will never be the same and your tire wear will suffer from it.

A reliable suspension upgrade would be something to help the suspension in your car perform better. Most people start off with the basic spring shock setup or full coilover setup. The topic of which suspension parts are better have been covered many times and can be found by using the search feature.

Yeah, I figure it would be darn expensive for those type of upgrade..I think I should stick to the coilover and shock...

Anyways, I just bought coilover in ebay and looking for good shock.......Any good suggestion guys?????any good brand same?.not too expensive ok...All 4 around or under 500 is good price for my bugget...

For under 500 you can get a used set of koni yellows. Group buy center has them for about a little over 500 brand new I think.
