We’ve had several vehicles with air suspension: ‘02 RRover, ‘16 Cayenne GTS, ‘13 Audi S7. IIRC also had them on an ‘11 WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee. All perform extremely well but over the long haul may require parts replacement and upkeep. As example, the airbags and orings in a 20 year old Rover needed replaced as they can weaken and crack with age. Not so yet on the other two vehicles, though some report needing to repair and replace air tanks and lines. IME, while they can be finicky depending on the vehicle, they are worth the effort.I don't want to go off topic too much but didn't want to start a new thread for this either. I have never owned a vehicle with air suspension. Can anyone reading this that owned one share your experience? Especially if it is a relatively older vehicle. I am planing to keep my R1 for a long time (passed warranty) and trying to see what I am signing up for.
The height adjustments are tremendous for both OR and for lowering for high speed aero pavement pounding. Rear air suspension also is hugely beneficial for auto leveling for tow loads, such that I’ve also added aftermarket airbags to a 3/4 ton truck for tow duties to prevent sag and stabilize handling under heavier tongue loads.
Max, this one is interesting enough along with the rest of Rivian’s suspension setup to start a new thread.
