Drag Bags?

Earlier this year a customer with a GTO had me install a set of BMR drag bags in his car. I had driven the car previously and was impressed at how stiff the rear of the car became after installation. Phase 5 drag cobalt is suppoed to have rear drag bags made by air lift. I have searched their site and come up with nothing and currently have an email in to them. I am curious has anyone seen drag bags for Cobalts?

I have a set of air lift 60776 bags they fit right inside the rear springs. When you pump them up it makes the rear suspension stiff as hell like a rock for the race track .

I just read the directions on summits page.

looks easy as pie for us.
compress the bag, slide it between the springs, attach the lines and voila.

Do you have stock rear springs or are you lowered? I'm running on Eibach sportlines so I'm not sure if they will still fit.
