Clifford Gottschalk answered my memo about the Air-Lift install I did over
the weekend. I wasn't sure whether he responded just to me, or the entire
list, so I thought I would reiterate an interesting point he made. If you
install the bladders teed together, you have defeated any gains in handling
capabilities. When cornering, the extra pressure on the outside bladder
will transfer to the inside bladder, potentially adding lift to the inside
coil spring. The harder you corner, the more air pressure gets
transferred. If you have them pressurised independently, the outside
bladder will do what it is supposed to do. If, however, you have installed
them to carry more weight and maintain the original height, teeing them
together would work OK (provided you don't do any high speed cornering).
Anyone else have a comment?
