are there any 3rd gens running an airbag suspension?? i'm interested in running an airbag setup...i just want to get some opinions from people that have it...thanks

will

 

yes there is a member that is running on bags...can't remember who tho. it looks pretty good.

 

for a daily driver it's not very ideal. bags can be VERY high maintenance. I've been tossing around the idea just for shows..

 

But for your turbo and 5-speed swap, bags would suck. Leave it the way it is Chris it looks perfect especially with that new paint job.

 

that's what delio and few others were discussing with me. I'd just have to swap out the suspension if I went that far.

Honestly a coilover is the best suspension setup out there. you get the best handling etc and still have the chance to slam the car...

 

Coil-overs are good, too bad they don't make them for our cars. Then again looking at your car, the stance is perfect. Thats how I imagined my car eventually.

 

me too

 

is there any specific reason why there are no coilovers available for 3rd gens??

thats what i was figuring...i think im might just go wit the eibach/tokico setup instead of the bags

 

I know southwest auto works sells air bag kits for the 3rd gen, if you want to know more about them call or email and ask for Alex

 

bags if installed properly are close to no maintenance. the air charges automatically, theres no messy leak of it does leak as with hydraulics. just my $.02

 

do you know the website for southwest auto works??

 

www.southwestautoworks.com

 

not entirely true... you can lose air in lines (holes etc etc)...bags can blow etc etc.

 

where....show me, I can't find it on his website

 

the kit's aren't on the web site, email them or give them a call and I'm sure they will tell you all you want about the kits

 

search for the 4th gen kit. alex does have a kit for us. i've spoken to him about it b4

 

bags will not blow if installed properly, or else they wouldnt mount them on big rigs. which leads me to believe also that air lines, if installed properly will not leak, because you dont want 10,000 pounds of cargo bouncing around causing havoc. i have seen minitrucks hopping on air, with no problems. you will have problems if you have them half a$$ installed.keep in mind that not all air fittings have to be the teflon push in type. you can have hard lines done, stainless braided lines done, hoses with pressure fittings etc.
