nobody :o
I will chim in ok lets here from what i have heard Canover is a reputable shop in japan that does work. Its pretty much less common here in the u.s. because of the limited ava on products. But i can tell you that, one of our fellow member din who just sold there sc300 not to long ago has the system installed says, nothing but good things about the company so i would look into them seriously i dont think there stuff is cheap though so give them a try.....
thanks man...I actually got a kit from them but haven't installed it yet. Everything I read on air suspension is Airrunner....just wondering it this one was good.
Canovers are made with air cylinders and there are pro's and con's with everything. The good part about an air cylinder is, the range of travel it has from fully defated to fully inflated (it's about twice as much as an average air bag). The bad part is (IMO) that it doesn't have any dampers to control rebound. This means that if there is not enough air in the cylinder, it will bottom out. And with too much air, it will feel like you have solid pipes for a suspension. But I have friends with cylinders, and they tell me that the cylinder seems to have a "sweet spot" where it feels like a regular suspension.
It depends on which car your putting it on. If the car has McPhearson suspension the Canover system will work great for you. They use our bags to slide over the struts

personaly I would go w/ canovers before bags ... I have diven both and canovers feel a lot more solid. IIt is hard to info on them ... I guess they weren't big in the US but I know they where are still are in Japan
A friend of mine also has canovers and got it from din. He didn't like how it raised and lower his car slow but thats actually pimp to me. :)
