Question for 5.5 maxima's on bags

What brand are you using or would you recommend buying for your suspension? Im lookin to do a new suspenion after winter and was wondering if you guys had any input on air bags. Also how much would it be to get them installed?

thanks

I have never owned a car with air bags, nor do I want to. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion, but my opinion is don't get bags, get some coilovers or springs/struts.

i'm selling the air struts off my 97. could drop parts off or install for a fee, let me know whats up. morgan06@snet.net. in hartford, ct.

1/2" lines, thomas compressor, tank, all fittings, these air struts work smoother than cylinders or bags in my opinion. the pocket slides around strut so you keep some of your bump stop instead of replacing everything. these things teach you how to stunt.

my only regret in my setup is my compressor was too loud for my tastes. they make ultra quiet joints now for around $150-$200 that move the same cfm.

i dont open my mouth to much to general questions because there are so many other dudes to answer them. this, i know about, so if youve got questions hit me up.

That air bag on the max is crazy drop, but it must drive really rough or loose... Get some struts and springs. Air bags are more for shows.....
