How is the ride with those things anyway? Is it really like riding on air? lollol well I dont think it is exactly like riding on air, but it is suppose to make the ride alot smoother and help with handling. of course most people only get them for the simple fact of show.

Yeah, I'd assume they're not very good for taking sharp turns going fast or anything performance-wise right? Not to mention the crap load of added extra weight. Where's Cody when ya need him?

Actually there are good for taking sharp turns, they did a thing an horsepower tv where they took a stock maro and ran it through a cones and then they bagged the same maro and ran it through again and it shaved I foget how much time but it shaved some off. so they do help when it comes to handling.

I think really the only extra weight being added is the compressor and tank.


*EDIT* here is some info on it http://www.airride.com/faq.asp

the ride is pretty nice if i remmeber right just as long as the bags are not all the way down or up, make any sense,

exactly thats why you set it just right. if you try driving with them all the way down its just like driving on no springs at all.

yea and driving them all the way up is like driving in a lifted truck lol

They dont seem worth it tho, Allll that money and all that trunk space taken up, i dunno...

some people think it looks cool, most people buy them and use the hell out of them for two shows and the never touch the damn things again, though they are nice when you can is too low to put a normal jack under.. and then you can raise it up, same way if there is a big bump and you see it in time or something liek that

yeah too bad you can't take it to the track with you :( Stupid debris hazard, lol.

They dont seem worth it tho, Allll that money and all that trunk space taken up, i dunno...Well most people get them just for the purpose of showing off by laying there car down in the weeds and then lifting it back up.

or driveing down the road with the front end all the way down and the rear all the way up lol,

or driveing down the road with the front end all the way down and the rear all the way up lol,Steve we could go on forever with the different driving positions lol

yea but i see that almost everyday or at least 3 times a week

I'd still get them if they were easily affordable to me, just for the showing off factor tho. I love when it's cold out and im out with people and their cars and i got the remote start so i click it before we leave somewhere and we get outside and I'm like, "Well...I'm glad MY car's warm, haha." That's when they go "Oh fuck you Lance, fuck you." So if I bagged my car, i'd be like, "Ha, atleast my car and do tricks and jump up and down, haha." And that's when they'd go, "Oh fuck you Lance, fuck you." :lol:

Oh and btw bags arent for hopping around I havent seen one car bagged popping up wheels, thats why you juice your car instead.

I didn't mean like hydros, I meant from the sitting on the ground position to the jump it does to the regular height.
