Ask Marty how it feels. He's driven my FX plenty of miles, hell coming back from HIN AZ I boned out once we got on the fun part of the 60w from the 10w which is a fun little stretch of freeway.

yup, Viet drove pretty agressive around the twisty area of the 60w/10w to a point we almost got a ticket because there was a CHP camping out.. haha.Driven the fx to Seattle and Vegas was surprisingly smooth since I never driven a air suspension like his or anybody elses.At times, I would definitely choose to run his Universal Air setup over my Zeals..haha

too low? when I saw your car it looked like if you were to dump it you would be hitting the kit on the ground

Been talking a lot w/ my buddy who has been riding on air (non-G35) for a long time. He says if your ride feels like ish, then your bags are either too high or low on pressure. There's a "sweet spot" for good ride characteristics.
