Im really not trying to get a cheap setup ,im going for the top of the line setup.the one with the least headaches and best quailty.

If you drive your car daily I wouldn't get them. Too many little things can go wrong. Pain in the a$$.

i agree with blackbullet.....i got bags but i dont drive my car hardly at all.....i would go with AIM ind. they carry good bags for our vics....a lil high on price but its worth it....do you want direct bolt on? if so AIM is the way to go....a good kit will run you about 2200 direct bolt on

just wanted to share

no, bags cost twice as much as full coilover damper but the dampers are much better in terms of performance. Bags are just for looks thats all......

Air bags are more than just looks, and a proper setup can yield better performance, as such is dynamic for the conditions. Such said, dialing in the right pressure/length at the right moment via an active or semi-active system isn't exactly trivial, and to do it right essentially means reengineering the suspension system.

If going with bags, use such to replace springs and supplement the struts, which one would want revalved to the characteristics of the bags (see comment above).

Unless you're willing to go through such lengths, don't consider it unless you're only after the looks.

-- Kane ... and yes, coilovers are a much more cost effective solution to performance. Why reinvent something which already works - the coil spring - right?
