Found an Air Suspension Kit

I wonder if this would benefit the cobalt performance wise versus just good looks.

i would guess that for a ss/sc that the handling would be worse. I have ridden in a vew air ride cars and they just can't handle very well. If you get antisway bars it would help. If you only want show then they are fine.

The problem with the air suspension is that the air can be compressed more. On the escalade the first year or first two years had air suspension and that thing rolled like none other, actually not much fun to drive. They upgraded to a air suspension that changes to your driving habits so i believe that the newer ones can become more stiff and allow for better handling.

probably not that good an idea for a daily driver unless you have the patience to troubleshoot leaks and all the other maintenance. that and you'd wanna carry an extra bag or two on you in case you have a blow out.

Definitely not for the everyday driver or for performance...for show only. Check out my bagged monte on 22's link. I would most likey choose some coilovers(such as my accord on 19's) to adjust for different performance.
