    Thanks for the informative video. Can't believe you found someone willing to install air suspension on a porsche, usually its not the best for handling which porsche guys are crazy about. On the upside, I bet its the comfy as heck.

    • @FitmentIndustries
      @FitmentIndustries  Před 3 lety +13

      It handles really well actually! It's improvement over stock, rides lower (lower center of gravity), and it's just as comfortable as stock if not better with damping at full soft for daily driving. There are 36 levels of adjustment if I ever want to track it or go through some twisties as well! - Jt
