Anyone have one of these air ride systems on their car? If so how is the handling. I was looking a kit with the wireless air management system for a steal price. Also could this be hooked up a EDFC active management system?

 

No experience, but like many would love an adjustable ride height.

 

I’m gonna call up Air Rex and find out if the kit reduces the handling or if better sway bars and bushing should be added along with stock appeal both inside and out.

 

Soooo, I too was interested in the Air Rex system strictly to be able to adjust ride height for getting over speed bumps, steep driveways, into the trailer with a splitter on, etc. Having a shock package that works well on the track would have been a slam dunk. I did some research and it appears that the company (Air Rex) is only distributing out of Japan I think. At first I was steered towards a "dealer" that was suppose to be a distributor but was pretty much a ricer dude that did this on the side in Hawaii....his shop address was a house in a subdivision, lol. So I started doing more research and I found a shop out of the Philippines that was doing a lot of these Air Rex systems called Car **** Racing. Here is where it gets a little confusing if you start to follow the youtube videos. I first started following "Ian" and watching the videos including a C6 air ride install. But as I followed more it appears that "Ian" has transformed his life to live as a woman named "Angie". Both versions of this person seem very honest and down to earth. Ian, now Angie is a car lover and loves high performance cars and driving. Like I said, I'm just explaining this because it honestly was a little confusing when trying to following the youtube series of updates on the cool car stuff Angie gets to do. I hope the video's below help answer some questions. How well this system works really will come down to the shocks performance and it's ability to control air spring. Also, I'm not sure if there will be any interference with tie rods, etc. Get ready for a lot of people on this forum to poo-poo air ride for a Corvette. It's not for everyone, but if the system works reliably and provides better than stock handling, it would be a viable option for some.

Installation on a C6:

Here is a C6 going around a course (mainly drifting) with the Air Rex system:

and another:

Here is a C6 that is customized with a body kit but he sort of crashes drifting on the street:

And here is Angie's Black Manta Corvette creation at the 2016 SEMA show:

 

I just don’t want the usual coil over. Or keeping stock on the suspension. I will mostly likely fork over the 7-8k it will take to do it right to be both street/track/curve capable without concerns. Maybe I could make double use of the tank when some ZLR doors kits go on add in a air popping shock shhhhhhh.
