I think airbags are better than pretty much any other suspension mod. You can have it ride tall in bumpy roads and drop it on the highway. Best of both worlds performance-wise.

Well, many airbag kits aren't designed for racetrack-like handling. However, a few places do make bag systems for handling, such as Air Ride Technologies at www.ridetech.com.

Maybe some crazy expensive air bags, but every bagged car I've seen couldn't take a turn faster than 10 mph. And if you drive on a bumpy road with bags, you'll end up with popped bags. Plus the compressor adds a ton of useless weight.

I'd say its the worst of both worlds peformance wise. (again, unless you put in some $10,000++ dollar bags that I've never heard of)

edit: oh, and vida guerra is the most overrated woman in the world.. she's a 6 at best.
