It already weighs enough why not? It's not like are cars are fast anyway. I don't know if they are car specific but my friend is selling his Air Runner AirRide suspensions out of his IS-F.

I believe they are car specific because you need to have the right bracket with them to bolt them to your car. You can custom fab some if you know how to do metal work or a good shop. I know I have seen one on here that was an ugly white W203 that had a custom turbo setup but it looked horrible!! The way it sat looked nice but how he made the car look was just disrespectful to our cars. To each is his own.

Air ride on a c180 now that is sad but extremly funny . i would say if you want air ride get an e55. if you can't aford an e55 get a gangster car and go from their.

It is a pretty smooth ride I must admit. I've driven my friends car about 80miles and I can't come up with a single complaint. The best part about it is when you come to a crappy driveway you can raise the car so you don't scrape!

Switch box is what you use to raise and lower the vehicle. Some have multiple settings.
