Has the knowledge base improved to the point that people are getting good results with airbag suspension? What I'm really getting at: Did it improve lap times?
I get the feeling that a lot of the products talked about are all about the look. I think they call it bling...

...what I'm interested in is something like the Range Rover air suspension with active / selectable handling and comfort control.
