depends on what kind of tank you use and how do you hide it and also the compressors right?

i also thought air didn't mix with handling. but after seeing my friends' cars with uas (universal air suspension) and my ls460l (also air suspension), if done right, the handling won't be any worse than coilovers

i can't remember exactly, but i recall someone telling me that some drift cars or so, they are actually on uas

Universal Air Japan has a complete Drift competition RX-7 on UAS bags. Check the link for quicktime video:

Air suspensions are capable of track. Just do your research and pick the right combo of parts.

ya i've also heard and seen cars on a/s doing just fine on the track. i read that there are small tanks available but didnt really see any. i guess i still have to wait for people with pictures to see how much space is left. (for a typical 5 gallon tank)

tanks could be special made to be in the spare tire area, or behind the bumper. there are pros and cons to all setup. you can even go without tank and just rely on compressors, again it's tradeoffs

with a 5 gallon tank, and if you just put it in the car, my guess is you can forget about the "inner" part of the trunk, i think that's still ok for golf bag
