Looks good though I would have preferred more restrained wheels.

I think that "thing" looks absolutely stupid and ridiculous.

Cars are meant to be driven as intended by the factory engineers. They don't design cars to sit on the ground or bounce around because that is something that should be reserved for the family pet, not the family car.

My biggest gripe with this stuff is the fact that the integrity of the suspension is compromised. Imagine trying to execute an emergency lane change with a car that has some sort of cobbled together air suspension, good luck! It would likely spin violently out of control and possibly kill or maim some other motorists in the process.

Looks kind of ghetto to me, but that's just my opinion.

Well we have a few low cars around here though they are all nackered old bangers driven by bor racers.
But this E Class is soooo cooool and the air suspension would be a huge bonus when negotiating our stupid speedhumps.
