A properly setup air suspension system can perform VERY well. We just took KW V3s off of a car and put a Bag Riders kit on it and the customer insists that the handling is superior now.

Weight wise, the car is lighter in per corner buy ~2lbs but has a 14lb control system in the trunk. (Just as a point of reference). He went with an e-Level so the car is calibrated to maintain his aligned height at all time, even with four people in it.
