air ride isnt going to come close to performing at the 1/4 mile. Leave that stuff to the mini truckers and caddy daddys.

I would be buying the MM package. With all that installed you will have a tight setup that will take corners like a mini cooper. The airbags seem like they would be more for a show car cruiser but could be set up to handle or launch.......in the end I would rather not mess around with compressors, lines and bags.

Air Ride sucks, its very bouncy. I drove a 56 Chevy Convertable with air ride and it rode like crap.

Thats what I was guessing, I thought air ride will be too bouncy when lowered. How BA is the MM package, it doesnt come with control arms, the next package up does, but cost 2400, Ill prolly just add in the LCA, so how ba is the susp package, will I be very happy I spend 1500, and be able to tell a big difference, will it handle like high end cars? will it be money well spent?

Just about any lowering spring is going to stiffen up the ride. I dis agree slightly with the bouncy ride with air bags, depending on the shock location/quality/stiffness and the pressure in the bags......air bags should yeild a very smooth ride.
