I didn`t even consider coilovers.Why the hell would i want to lay on the ground and stick my hands up in a dirty wheelwell w/ a wrench to put the car up and down? All I do is hit one button and away I go.

some coilovers you can adjust at the top of the strut towers, dont no about the backs, probably would have to do the sides, no clue on the backs..

my set up dropped me a good amount..but i have been air bagging cars for years i think this is my 5th car..i didnt buy a "kit"..the problem i encountered when dropping the car is the rear toes out instead of cambering in like most cars. a shim is available to fix this so my rear will lay lower once i get that in.i am on 20 inch american racing casinos 225/35/20
i was a little worried about the ride being "wavy" because thats a problem u have when on air but with the strut bags i have in the front and the tiny bags i have in the back the ride is stiffer and more comfortable than on ssc lowering springs. i can adjust from 2 inches above stock height to this low. if u have any other questions fire away

It's very rare for a bag to have issues unless it's rubbing against something.

Yes old but it also means he's searching and I give him props for that.

More recent guy to ask about bags would be CAD, he's running for COTM at the moment.
