Air-ride - Is it all things to all men?

Air-ride has been the subject of much debate in the motoring world for a long time now. Almost as much of a fight as Evolution vs. Impreza. 

Coilover purists will tell you that air-ride is uncomfortable and simply can't handle as well as a properly sorted car on premium coilovers. Air-ride purists will laugh at the coilover boys as they scrape over speedbumps. 

So Matt Farah of 'The Smoking Tire' got his hands on Accuairs supercharged Audi S4, kitted out with their latest all-bells-and-whistles air ride system with remote adjustment to see if air ride really can offer the awesome lows when parked up, handle as well as coils in the corners and ride without breaking your back. The results make for some interesting viewing, its safe to say - bags are here and they are here to stay. 


We want to know your opinion! Are you an air-ride activist or a coilover connoisseur? Let us know in the comments
