scooter99 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ok so here's the deal. I'm hoping some of you air ride guru's can give me a hand. I have an 06 Honda Civic Ex and I currently have Buddy Club N+ Spec coilovers (version 1). I've been interested in bagging my civic for some time, but having sunk the money into the coilovers I decided I'd wait till those started going bad. Well they seam to be getting there. So I'm wondering, if anyone knows, if I could do a standard bag in the place of my springs on my front dampers. How much work would it be, and what would someone charge to do this for me if there is anyone on here that would. These are the one you can buy for my car, but they're pretty pricey: AirRex Engineered Air Suspension And these are my coilovers: They're basically the same thing it looks like to me, except one has a spring on it, and the other has a bag where the spring goes. Seems like it wouldn't be too tough to do. I would appreciate any help guys! Thanks! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 i dont know much about bags, but on my scion they run 2-4k installed depending on how legit they are. I also heard some come with life time guarantees! I'm most likely going to go with bags instead of coilovers Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ya I'd love to have a brand new set, but I'm not sure I can afford it. I'll be installing them myself too, so that'll save some cash on the other end as well. But I have the coils already, so if I can convert them to bags, it'll be the cheapest way to go.

HunterJohnson Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I know you can do like smaller bags on top. I saw a subaru with that set up but its only an inch or two instead of five or six Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I've seen a civic with these, the AirRex bags, on it. IT was the full set up though from them. If I can get away with doing this a little more on the inexpensive, I'd be happy. I don't wanna go cheap, but at the same time, I don't wanna get crazy either.

HunterJohnson Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah unfortunately cheap bags is still like 1 grand for a used system. I'd ask on civic forums thats where I get my information on my scion (yoursciontc.com) they know exactly what bags to get, how to install, what camber to set, etc etc Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm on some bag sites, like AirSociety.com etc. I'm doing some searching for sure. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 ya that's one of the civic's I've seen on there. Also James's 2009 is pretty sick too. He's going to text me over some pictures of his set up. I'm talking with him now. This is what I was thinking of, and I'll email them, but I don't see why this won't work unless the bag is too wide. But I don't know if it's any wider than the AirRex's, at least they don't seem so. Air Over Threaded Brackets and then these Universal Air Suspension Aero Sport Bags So if something like this works, then I may be in business. Just would have to piece it all together and do some work!! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
