The order should be:
1)Suspension
2)Rims
3)System
Forget bags!

Personally bags aren't my style, but I'm not gonna ***** your post with negative comments. I'm sure it will look nice, but I would rather have a performance setup. If you get it done be sure to post some pics!

I just ran into a guy @ best buy who had a bagged galant. I saw the car out in the lot and laughed at it. I pointed out to my gf how the back wheels were sitting at a rediculous angle because it was dropped all the way to the ground without a camber kit.

Anyway, I'm looking at subs and this guy tells me how I need 2 12's because maxima's "have a big trunk that soak up bass like his galant." So I said, "Oh, you're the guy with the slammed galant out front?" He says "yeah." And I say, "man, those rims are tucked!" I said no more because I could think of nothing positive to say about his setup with a straight face.

Please excuse my rambling...

i think bags are really cool and make the car look really nice for a show look, but for everyday driving bags are very harsh and alot of people blow their bags because its not really meant for everyday driving.... if your gonna turn your car into a show car, go for it, but if not, just get a good suspension...

my engine was rebuilt so it lost some power and it will never be as powerfull as it can so im doing the "showy" look
im getting 2 audiobahn 12" subs 2k watts peak each
1 1600 watt amp and a cap
in a custom either plexiglass or white vinyl trunk w.e my $$$ permits.
hopefully do that next week during the summer im getting pioneer lcd dvd headunit n at least 2 tv's in da headrests
and if i can bag it and interior i think itll look realy nice and if i bag it of course im getting the camber!

I've been in a air ride suspension car. Ride is quite comfortable. Not really a performance mod though. If I was into shows, I would get bags.

I would get coilovers before bags if you're going to spend that much.

Could you use can-overs instead of airbags, or are those just the same thing?

I think you should get JICs over bags. Doesn't look like you have rims so why get bags? Everything else on your car looks stock and isn't showy.
