a PRO's Take | Product Advice & Recommendation

"I need to stress this point to everyone. Installing air ride on a vehicle with a high horse power engine is not the right call. It is literally a waste of money. If you are building a Classic VW and you want to cruise it, air ride is for you. Performance applications need a more controlled, firm application to put power to the ground....and I don't mean racing."

Trust is earned and reputation makes decisions easy. - Airkewld CEO Pete Skiba
