Theme Tuesdays: ‘The Bags Ruin It’

0

Air ride has progressed leaps and bounds from the days when it was predominately used to lay trucks, and older vehicles closer to the ground. As the technology, R&D, and availability of air ride components improved, bags began to appear under a wide variety of vehicles that, as recently as 5 years ago, one would have never expected to see sitting on the ground.

As bags began to permeate all corners of the automotive landscape the talking heads (found amongst the assorted peanut galleries around the internet) have become to be very vocal about what they think should and should not ride on air.

Today’s Theme Tuesday is a hat tip to a few of those very vehicles that some feel are ‘ruined’ because they ride on air.

Air Lift Performance is really close to releasing their GTR kit which will not only suit stock body cars like this well but Liberty Walk kitted ones as well

I still remember the sh!tstorm that was caused when this Lamborghini first popped up online
Now a few years later this car was debuted at SEMA and fewer people blew their collective fuses

Here’s a video of it on a different set of wheels

When Air Lift announced their S chassis kit nay sayers were quick to assume bags would ruin the cars ability to slide

I’ve said it before —a few times— but I am really excited to see what else is to come in the land of air!

I miss one? Let me know in the comments.
