Air Ride Switch off.

[MachVIII]

When I bought the car I sensor lowered it and was fine for a while. Then one day I went for a drive and it sunk in the front. I parked it for a while then restarted and it went back up. Few weeks later the front and back did the same thing. So after getting sick of the inconsitancy I shut off the air ride switch when the it was a the height it was supposed to be at (lowered). Its been about a week and it still at the height I like so I know the bags dont leak. Any problem with leaving the switch off indefinately??

The EVO controller is in the same module as the air ride controller. Switching it off can cause the power steering to go into 100% assist at all speeds. This can make the steering feel a little sensitive at highway speeds.

I think I remember Eddie saying that the system will build up moisture if you leave it off and the compressor will die.

Not a good idea to leave it shut off indefinitely. Furthermore, it'll probably drop a gradually a little over time, anyway.

This is typical results for leaky airsprings. The height that you have it at now is probably just below/above the cracks in the rubber bags.

You can read up on it here:

New airsprings now could save you further expense later.

It's not good for the suspension, definitely don't take it out on the freeway.
