why not? I'm not going that route, but having an airbag suspension that would allow me to adjust the height from inside the car at the touch of a button is a pretty attractive idea. The ride is superb, and doesn't compromise handling very much, if at all. Top Secret uses a cup system air suspension on their G35.

I hope that hood is unlatched, or the fit is terrible
Looks nice though

I think it looks pretty good, but if their bags, then his ride quality is gonna be ****. Looks like a show car, and I know cranking coils down for the show only to have to raise them is time consuming!

Looks great....not fond of the air suspension though. Then again I came from mini-trucks with airbags, so I know all the hassle thats invloved. Air cylinders/Struts or Shockwaves are ok, for the bling dubbed out G35. I guess thats what this is, not my taste though.

The Roberuta system is not a suspension system though, so we're not talking about the same thing.

airbags aren't hydraulics. The ride in a car with airbags is like riding in a Cadillac.

If they were actually airbags, then it rides kinda like a caddy, unless you have really good shocks. This setup is most likely using air cylinders, which btw do ride like hydraulics. If he is using Shockwaves, then it would ride better, its an airbag in between a strut setup. Whatever setup he is using, this car will no longer be good for canyon's or track. Show and cruising only....booo!

I would not kill the handling just because of this 'being convenient'... I would rather spend that money on a Tanabe Sustec Pro 7 with TEAS and if need to adjust ride height for a show I would gladly do it manually

That car looks amazing. Honestly, that looks like the best G i've ever seen. (except for the bags, i would have just dropped it)
