Anyone using cargraphic syspension with air lift...

I am trying to get opinions in several suspension systems...It seems that cargraphic is the only one that has air lift and also is PASM compatible...does anybody use it?

SharkWerks installed it on my car.

Here are the main differences:
Cargraphic: air, slower, less unsprung weight, cheaper
TechArt: hydraulic, faster, more unsprung weight, more expensive

Both are good systems and both have positives and negatives. One note on the Cargraphic Airlift is that you do need to plan ahead, as it takes a several seconds to reach full lift. One idea to improve the lift time was installation of a larger compressor, but mine works fine for what I need it to do so I never pursued that route. Talk to Alex/Dan @ SharkWerks as they have installed both kits several times and will give you honest opinions.

they used to be $3500 but I think they recently went up in price. Don't forget to add the install cost which can take up to 4-5hrs or so.

Scott - I've been thinking about this mod for some time now. You and I both track our cars. I assume this setup does not impede with track duty?

No issues that I can appreciate. Besides would Walter Rohrl lie?
