Default BOLD WORLD air suspension for the 3rd gen

So who's gonna be the first??? I rate Bold World to be better than Airrunner in terms of quality, fit and finish.

This is the system they are developing for the gen 3. They use the Roberuta bags mounted on top of a coilovers system developed by Bold World themselves. Roberuta has been used widely in Japan by Ferrari and Porsche owners to get over speedbumps or high inclines.



Roberuta is that strange cylindrical metal thingy above the coils.

Price should be around $5500!! Yeooooowch!

Yes, I would assume so, but I think the Roberuta air system (used by Ferrari and Porsche in Japan) and just about any other coilover system would perform better than the stock GS's sport suspension button function.
