Makes me wish I had waited in finding a WRB instead of my MBP wagon.

I am sure they did not want to advertise which brand they used as that would look bad on a company to single out and degrade a competitors product. And they aren't claiming that air is a better "track only" suspension. They are just showing that air suspension can handle exceptionally well for those that also use their cars for daily driving, a track suspension when on track, and a comfortable riding, height adjustable suspension when making the commute to work. Not sure what holes you are talking about, besides not knowing the brand. They set up the coilovers at the same ride height, corner weight, toe and as close on camber as possible to the air suspension. The dampening was set to the recommended values as stated in the installation manuals for both the air and the coils. It sounds like you are just "assuming" again with your single mindedness. I am however not being bias, seeing as I have ran both types of suspension. I didn't just decide to buy a wagon and slam it, in fact this is the 4th suspension setup I've gone through on this car alone. I've also had an 06 STi, 05 Legacy GT, built 05 WRX wagon, and my current 06 WRX wagon, all with a variety of coilovers and different suspension setups. So I am plenty educated, and with actual experience on each type... son.

If you knew anything at all about business or suspension systems, you would know that what you just claimed is complete BS. If airbags actually worked better or even as good as well known coilovers or aftermarket strut/spring combo that are known to "work", they would without a doubt say it in bold print. It's great for business and would sell product, hence they made that deceptive comparison in order to increase business. The problem (holes) is that they never say which coilovers, what the alignment (an extra degree or so of neg camber on "their" suspension would change the times) are set to on the cars, are they all on the same tires, air pressure, track temperture, and so on. Small difference in setup will make noticeable difference in lap times. The handling difference between a great set of coilovers, say Moton over a good set of KW's is huge even on the same car with everything else the same. So you can't make a "real" comparison without saying exactly what you are comparing against. It's completely misleading and only done so to hide real facts. The bottomline, airbags are only good at one thing, it's lowering the car to the ground for looks. Handling like a "real" performance car. Not so much.
