Air suspension isnt for everybody for sure. Its expensive, bone jarring, lasts 2-3 years before replacement airtstruts are needed, And camber/caster cant be corrected on a stock chassis with OEM mounts. All you can set is the toe. The tires tip inward radically as you drop the front. You accept your going to replace your tires every 15-20k. I am on the 3rd set of fronts(half used) at 42k miles on the car. But things like raising the back end up and dropping the front for light to light, And being able to drive scrapping the airdam on city level roads makes it worth it to me. Nothing like pulling into a parking lot and dumping all 4 corners on the tires.
Yeah...deff not for everyone...mainly cause of cost & work in running hose & electical wiring. But yours is hot! Do you risk drive that low when on highway though or do you bump it up a few inches?

I have a a gauge that shows me all 4 corners pressures and have a good idea where the body is by it. Down to 45 lbs in the front and the tires rub. 30 in the rear. I actually ride a little higher than OEM out here in the country, and anywhere in the snow. I save the low ride for city cruising. I will actually raise it a little higher than stock before an "entrance" into a parking lot and dump the air and let the car set on the tires as I come to a stop. Makes it a litlle more dramatic. LOL Hey,.... it'z a toy, And I like to play.
