hey my cars been in the shop gettin air bags installed for about a few weeks now. I'm really happy with everything except the car doesnt go very low. It doesnt tuck rim just tire. although it goes very high, if you put up with the right adjustments you can have a rear tire off the ground which is really cool. They said that they could customize it and have it so it goes an inch and half lower but i'd lose height, and also if a bag blew out it wouldnt be driveable like it is now if one were to blow. Did I get crappy bags or are they all like this? I got them on airbagit.com. Also when I get it back this tuesday i'll post pics and videos. Its amazing how fast it moves.

i'm guessing you got the strut bags? another member here had them and had problems with it leaking...
ya alot of the kits out dont go too low in the front. the rear does tho.
how much was it? whats the specifics... kinda of compressor, tank, links, valves, switches, etc...

oh and you think its fast now.. get nitro tanks, you should be able to hop a good 12"

yeah well i had skunk2 coilovers slammed. now the car is about the same just a little lower in the front and about an inch lowerin the back. and yeah it hops a little now, the tires chirp . i got a 3/4 horse blowjax compressor, 6 gallon tank, 1/2 inch lines and 10 switch box. i upgraded everything , i got digital guages and whatnot. it came to about $2000. what are nitro tanks? also people had problems with the actual bag leaking? or the system? because there are a few leaks because of the way the lines link into everything, but the guy installing them is gonna get clamps and stuff to make it better. he actually had to buy a lot of stuff that didnt come with the kit so that it would perform better. when i get it back i'll take pics of everything and post them.

what he means by nitro is nitrogen tanks it makes the bags fast as hell

couldnt that cause them to break easier/fastER? also how would you hook up nitrogen to the system? any links on that? it does sound interesting..

basically instead of using regular air, you use nitrogen. its not a permanent setup cause ya you cant use a compressor with it but people use it at competitions and stuff.

he had a problem with the actual bag itself leaking.

so what would be the best kit to get for our cars right now?

i am not a big fan of bags, if i was gonna invest in an air ride setup i'd get air struts, those in my personal opinion are the best. But thats my opinion

If u have 1/2 inch lines be careful with the nitrogen or helium cus that can blow ur bags easily.
