How did you get the wheels to toe in towards the car, shop done, or yourself? Do you have extended fender flares on your GS and do you feel a difference in ride experience (bumpy, too aggressive)? I really like the car and mods, looks killer!

I had my car profesionally aligned, I just set it to my daily driven height and the alignment shop did everything else. I love the ride on my air suspension, I know it's very subjective, but I would say it's a little stiffers than stock. And no, I dont have fender flares.

How does it handle when going at higher speeds?
I've taken it up to 80mph, and it feels solid and comfortable (no shakes or rattles). I don't think I want to take it up any higher though.

You know I"m not trying to be picky but why? I ask cuz I've debated this mod many times but am worried of how it will ride at higher speeds. I'm no racer but I like going faster now that I can, I guess I'm worried of how it will handle in decently sharp turning and hard braking and at the track every once in a while. If you were to go up into the 90+mph area does it wobble or feel floaty?

I know JT had this system with a turbo but he really never drove his car after the airrunners than sold the car. I'm just trying to find out more info before I make a move and it doesn't feel safe at higher speeds. I'm sorry if this is off subject a little.

The only reason I won't take it passed 80mph is just my own paranoia. The car feels really stable, even through high speed curves. I believe that air bags can be just as stiff coil springs if you put enough pressure in it, but at the same time have a higher risk in popping it. Also, the higher the pressure and higher the car gets, so center of gravity will also be affected. If I were to use my car at the track or go through mountain passes, then for sure I will put my coilovers for that.
