Great opinion guys. I was at 21.5 from fender to ground and the frame about an inch of the ground, at 90mph I would merge lanes and knock of road reflectors. Road trips were also horrible and people wld tell me to raise it but I didn't listen lol sooo since I have experianced that, I will tell anyone who tells me fuk bags to fuk off bc I would know both worlds lol..no I would be running airlift xtra low struts and bags, koni sport strut rears, autopilot managment, 480 dual compressors, and easy street manifolds : ) ... I guess u guys have a point about bags at show but I was able to win best in class over a bagged jetta, clean ass looking ride, when I first saw it I'm lik o shit I lost lol but luckly I didn't. This was a big event too.
Ok for those bagged, how often do you experience leaks, blow outs, or any other problems? How do you align the car if you keep going up and down lol does it affect tire wear? Any reviews on the setup I posted... Thanks! And I am excited for this =D
As blksunshine said you are not immune to leaks, when I had my bags in no matter how many times i went over the lines/fittings I could never completely rid the system of leaks. I would fill the tank and bags up at night and by the next morning they would be completely empty. With that being said if everything is properly installed you should be able to minimize that. I'm sure others will disagree, but as far as alignments go its pretty much impossible. Reason being is because you will never ever be able to adjust all 4 corners to the exact height that they were aligned at, so its useless. Because of that reason I went threw tires like nothing. The outsides of the tire were like brand new but the insides would wear to the belts.
Another thing most people don't think about is that our cars had literally thousands and thousands of hours of R&D testing, etc. They were built purposefully to be as safe as possible a high speeds. When you destroy all that and replace it with parts that have a fraction of the time put in to them, combined with a pieced together a kit from various different manufacturers, and installed by some self assured gear heads in a day, you have a not so safe vehicle. Now this sounds absolutely retarded, because it is, but when i would be going at +100 speeds I would be thinking...did i tighten that valve enough? or is that bag going to fall out of its seat and blow up, or what if the line is rubbing on the tire, or wtf am I doing if this bag blows I'm dead. Sorry for the lecture, just another angle to view this at.
As far as your set up, I can't speak for the other parts, but the auto pilot is great and it installs extremely easily with the easy street valves. I would go with the viair 400c compressors as they fill up faster, or you could check out their newer models which I'm not to familiar with but have heard great things about.
