Default Praxis Suspension in GRM

OK, maybe I'm clueless, and this has been around for a while but...

There is a great review of the Praxis suspension for the WRX/STI in the Feb/04 Grassroots Motorsports. They also have a couple from other Mags on their web site.

Really cool ride height adjustable from the driver's seat, and toe/camber changes automatically as well.(OK, this happens with normal coil overs as well, but the airbags have some other advantages) You have to change the stiffness at each corner, but big deal!

Scott, can you return your new coil overs? These are really cool! In stock at tire rack in sparks for only $3450...

Did I mention that it automatically does corner weighting as well?

Actually Art has a thread posted about that very same system right at the bottom of the tech forum. :wink: We discussed it some and were mainly concerned about the alignment & strut/LCA geometry changes that would result from a 2" ride height change. Plus, I'm sure it would add some weight to the car...

OK, I did a search for praxis before I posted this and got no hits, but you are right, it is right there... Weird

The Praxis web site does have a number of things related to the concerns you guys had about alignment, etc.

Since the spring rate of the air bag is progressive, the lower the car, the higher the spring rate.

So far the reviews look good...
