Melveo, are you putting forth the argument that no suspension is the best race setup I wonder to myself. I have run the aveo on no suspension for a bit, it was 'really good at roundabouts' but not the comfort scenario if any.

If I were to have air suspension done again propa' it would have a 'no suspension' setting like a clamp of some sort. But I got into all this rear suspension because of towing heavy 1400lb 180lb tongue weight trailers, not handling specifically.

But either way the dang air bags work their magic don't they. Do it, you won't regret it.
When you shove an airbag into a spring you have semi-adjustable pre-load suspension.

this is on topic for tobyjose who posts i think:

at 5psi the airbags are nothing
at about 7-11 psi the airbags start 'doing stuff' to the rear with the cargo
at about 22 psi it just feels like there is no suspension

i pump up the airbags manually with a tire gauge and a mini bicycle pump that fit in the aveos glove box

it takes about 30 seconds to pump up or adjust an airbag depending upon its demand for the occasion

Surprisingly i actually have a good ride quailty. I use nissan s13 coilovers up front so i have adjustable valving 20k swifts and i still use the mk1 rear struts with 20k 326power spring combo. I drive this thing everywhere up and down the east coast. My finacee, me tools, jack spare. Its built to roadtrip this height. Hit a bump, one bounce and it settles. It use to be really bouncy on the mk2 set up. I dont every tow so i could understand the need for air. I have a big lifted jeep so thats the tow pig. Follow me on Instagram for some rollers of how smooth it is.
Im sure some 17x8 would make it a great autocross car (lots of backroad racing before becoming a stancy boy) but i love running the 17x9s stock body
