So you know for a fact this owner is going to go on the track to try and win the/a race?It’s pretty much a matter of fact that the handling of that car has been ruined and putting it on a track next to a perfectly stock B7 RS4 will see it getting smoked quite easily…and likely cause some damage to its body work as well.
100% with @FiestaST here, nothing was gained from this mod and it just ruined and otherwise awesome car.
EDIT: How does he cause damage to bodywork when the suspension is raised? You not making sense at all and you also just providing an opinion now.

So, Can it Handle?
To put it simply, yes. There is really nothing about modern air suspension systems that will hold them back from performing as good as a coilover system. The real reason air suspension has become a popular option for general performance use the preconceived notion that it’s only for show cars. Is it going to be a viable option for a full-blown race car? Well, it depends.There are plenty of racers out there running air suspension on their car, such as Cody Miles who races time attack with his Subaru STI with an off-the-shelf Air Lift Performance Kit. If you’re racing a Formula car, for example, the added weight could offset the potential benefits, but for 99% of enthusiasts who track their car, even at the elite level, air suspension is a perfectly viable option
