MACnonsence6 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 my car is in need of new springs and struts and i was thinking about going with bags instead but im not sure where to get a kit from or if they even make them for my car. also wondering a few quesitons about an air ride system. is it a more comfertable ride then spring/strut assembly? Quote I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetMetalBen Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Air Struts for your ride aren't the cheapest things on the planet, but they are worth every penny! Airlift sells a Bolt on Set of struts that make is stupid easy to install. It will take you longer to run your lines and wires then it will to install the struts. With air struts the car rides really well, once you learn how to set it. If you roll to low it will be squishy. but too high and it will be stiff and bouncy. As long as you find your happy medium then you will be fine. What Other questions do you have about Air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 BC coilovers will be a lot cheaper to do than bagging it, but if you feel the need to bag than i guess cost won't make a difference.

StreetMetalBen Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 A pair of 480 compressors will only set you back another $400 or so. Or even a little 380 pump is only 160.00 Trust me, you really want a pump. It sucks to be stranded without air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a bearing at the top mount so the strut is trying to turn with the wheel. This is a problem I am tring to address on my Cruiser right now.

In all the years that I have been Bagging, Beating, and cutting things up I have never had this obvious problem addressed to me! And now that I see it, it makes perfect sense. Time for a Little R-N-D ;-) Thanks for pointing that out to me!!! Learn something every day now dont we!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
