    Air Ride Options

    Curious if anyone has come up with an air ride or other in car adjustable ride height and pressure system? Looks like some COB (Coil over Bag) options out there. With the Koni shocks custom made for the 818, trying to figure out what options are.

    I like the idea of easily adjustable height shocks (especially for street driving)
    The supplied FFR shock coil spring is about 3.5" outside diameter. The coil is very close to other suspension components.
    So it would take some customization to make the air bag shocks work.
    if you or someone attempts this, keep us all posted.

    Did a couple of guys on the forum do this on their GTM's for drive-ability issues ?

    Was thinking same on clearance concerns for coil over bags. Will let the group know if I decide to install.

    I believe the GTM guys are using an airbag that fits inside the coil and can be inflated for temporarily raising ride height to get over speed bumps or into driveways. Not sure what it’s called, but I recall it being rather expensive.
