ok so im being picky again and cant really decide on coilovers cuz i read too many bad things about them, so im leaning towards bagging it... heres my thoughts,, as many of ya know, i have said may times that i dont need a car built for track racing OR the drag strip every other day... so IMO, bagging it would work, but i want some insight from anybody that might have them or know somebody that does... i think it would be perfect, especially for cool points... avoiding dragging the front lip would be easy, just push and raise, no scratches.. but thats that, i been lookin all over for a nice setup, but there is too many and i am clueless once again to what would work and be worth the money.

 

Get Pedders Coilovers, I heard they are pretty good.

 

i looked at them, im kinda scared of them, or any other coilovers, i mean i heard about them busting and bein all whacky,, and im way too afraid that i will scrape with them.. if i bagged it, i could raise the front end up so i dont scrape, and still have a nice firm ride, and do anything with it.

 

Not a good idea.

 

you're scared of coilovers but you want air lines running all over the car, fittings that can leak, an extra ~100lbs in the rear, etc?

 

ive never heard anything bad about coilovers... i dream of the day i can afford some for my gal

 

I've never had a problem with my coilovers... bags are mostly for show cars imo

 

also john, if you had to go a good distance away you have a good chance of so bag blowing now iud you were turning your car into a complete show caR then I would say do it, but still gonna race it at time not so good. But yes being ale to go down a slope out of a gas station or something would be nice just hitting a switch, but my friend matt had that bagged black sonoma, ill give you his number if you really are serious and want too

 

bag it until your married. oh wait, i misunderstood what we were talking about

 

lol well guys, thanks for all the input and all that, i jus think its narrowing down to how serious i am about avoiding scraping... kyle, you know how nashville/clarksville is, its impossible to pull in in style ANYWHERE without everybody watching and saying "wait for it,, wait for it,,, SSSCCCHHHKKKKKHH!!! OOOOOOO!! """ and about adding 100 pounds to the car, well, going with a better set of wheels would balance that out, such as enkeis and all them fancy deals... yes, having a air leak would suck, let alone a blown bag,, but, PRECAUTIONS can be taken, im very good at preventing leaks of any sort, if the kit comes with jus the basic lines, fittings, etc,, i would make sure i amped it up a tad bit... as for the bags themselves,, hey, as long as you keep them from drying out they would be fine unless you're INTENTIONALLY trying to run over razor blades and shattered glass or some lazyass's fork from his ******* subway salad....

 

hey ok I throw a fork out the window one time lol jk but yeah no **** its funny though cause purple as in everyone well hear a car coming a and then just sit and watch like its the super bowl with one second left and dude is going for a 60 yard field goal attempt and your down by a point lol

 

yea, sucks ass.. my bottom lip,, uhm,, lol wait,, my,, "front lip on my car" is going to kill me if i put coilovers on, i mean, i dont want to have to get out of my car and raise the damn coilovers just to go to ****** mcdonalds.... ??? soooo lol now its like, we need to take a vote

 

take slopes at angles. my car is slammed. the lip is scraped underneath but you could never see it if you were not under the car

 

cool, thats good to hear, i mean i take a lot of turns and what not at angles, but sometimes having a stage 4 clutch and trying to do so is a true bitch lol.. how much lower are you than say,,, sportlines right now... what size tires you runnin?

 

the front is slammed on ksport coilovers currently running 245/40/17's on my ccw's

 

damn yeah, hell I'm at stick height and I even have to take some slopes sometimes at a angle

 

my car is stock height and i scrape all over, but where i work cars are not always welcome... ive been back and forth with baging the balt, they dont have many problems anymore like the op has stated. its just not popular cause of a bad rep.

 

Go ride in a car that has bags and you will realize that's a bad choice!! Especially if you are building the motor, going with a big turbo setup etc.. Just going to be fail

 

ive had s10's on bags, they arent bad at all. i have a friend whos shop does bags and hydrolics. what does the motor have to do with suspension?

 

nick please explain the issues that you're thinkin about, i mean i dont know, would it really be that bad???? i only go fast in a straight line, so i jus dont get what ur tryna say lol so help me out here haha... would having bags with a 500 hp monster just cause somethin to break or you mean it wont be very steady/firm or whatever?

to me, all my car is is just somethin to feel good ridin in, always fun to drive, and havin the ability to fly past 100 without even tryin, i love shows, so ima show it A LOT, if the downside of the "bags" idea is lack of performance, i jus dont get it, it couldnt be nothin my own 2 hands couldnt handle, i mean really who is gonna be able to keep torque steer under control 110% on any kind of suspension setup... im lost in the sauce boss

 

ive been into the mini truck scene for years now. i want you to picture something. one of those times actually going 100 mph and having a blag blow out on you..... as far as looks go, an ss bagged would be bad ass!

 

They look hot but they ride like ASS from my experience. I dont think you realize how bad it will be with the setup you plan on running (motor + turbo).

Find someone local with a bagged car and take a ride.

 

I say don't lower the car. Problem solved.

 

Someone showed up with bags at the track the other day...he was in a 370Z...he got lapped...a couple times.

 

i fully understand,,, it would be very very chancy especially for those days i just feel like i need to blast the bitch over 100 for a bit... but what the ****, really? i can see a bag blowing out if i were to hit a HUGE bump, or lay into a curve too fast and put way too much pressure on one of the bags, ((( 3000+ lbs +extra g forces going into a curve ))) yea, or maybe if a leak was present, but not taken care of, yea, could lead to a bag blowing out... but have ANY of you,,, well, nick i know you have,, have any of you ever seen how i take care of my car? how CLEAN it always is inside and out? if ima put money into the suspension on bags or anything,,, i would probly take my time checkin the **** all the time to make sure nothin is leaking/cracked/ripped/broke whatever.... but nick i will take your advice, and i will go ride in a car with a nice bag setup.... im just thinking that there is a lot of misunderstanding here... if everything was setup the RIGHT way, to ensure no leaks, or possibilities of **** gettin broke, everything would be alright, and for as smooth as the ride would be, if i wanted a smooth ride, i woulda bought an escalade...
