Default Arnott Inc Air Spring. Re my posting 10/3

Well it on the car,may be the fist one out there. Looks very different from the OE. Bladder much smaller, very high quality. Indy looked at it and state it wouldn't work. Hour and a half later on the car. 50 miles on it and can't tell any difference in ride or handling compare to the the new OE on the othersise. Plug, if your looking for a very reliable indy in the North Atlanta area- J3 Motorsports in Buford 770.831.5454

smaller? Hmmm. Does this revive the old spring-rate debate?

Default Do you notice any differences at different ride heights?

If you watch from outside the car while raising or lowering it, does that corner change height at a different rate? Does the distance from the fender to the wheel center match the other front corner (or differ by the same amount) on all four levels? Did your mechanic say why he thought it wouldn't work?

(Sorry for the grilling; inquiring minds want to know.)

The measurements match at all four settings. Not even a 16th of an inch difference at any setting. The mechanic comment I think was because it was something new to him. Only one problem an air leak- oring. Solved in five minutes before it was taken off the rack.

Default even if the bag has a different volume the car measures the height at the control arm

and would be corrected.

Default I figured that was probably the case; I was mostly curious if the bag would inflate or deflate

faster if there's less volume.
