POLL: TEIN SS or AIR RIDE?

alright guys, I just want some opinions. I am doing my suspension in the late winter/early spring and I need to figure out what to do.

TEIN SS (if others want them they'll get cheaper) $1900

OR

Air Ride approx. $2700

What should I do?

I am kinda leaning towards the Tein now also. At first I thought that Air would be kinda fun, then realizing that Tein has a better warranty, and the ride is good on it, my opinion is swaying that way now.

Plus with the money saved I can get my VIS hood and Neuspeed X-brace, and DC Rear Upper Strut Bar

Tein SS for sure. Unless you looking at something like the Praxis air ride system (see last month's issue of SCC for more info), air ride will not improve your handling at all, if anything it will get worse.

Judging by your air ride price, I take it you aren't looking at the Praxis system since last I saw it was going for over $4,000 U.S.

ok, this thread is worthless.....everyone has a different oppinion. It is up to u, do u want to be show or go. Are u gonna be do alot of racing on the track or street or are u gonna be showing ur vehicle.

It is a personal decision depending on what u want out of ur car. Air ride is high maintence tend to leak.....they can be a big pain in the ***. And not air ride gives u a bad ride......it all depends on what u get.

thread is not worthless, I am simply undecided, and as you can see, you gave me an opinion of your own which is what I wanted.

I think Tein is what I am going to go with. Does anyone want to get a group buy going on this if I can get a slight discount?
