bagging a pro

[Vulcanon]

ok I couldn't find what I was looking for so here we go:

1. How much does bagging cost?
2. Are my ride height options limited to all the way up and all the way down? Is there a middle ground?
3. Is it comfortable if I'm going over a bump or will I feel it through my spine?
4. Anything else I should consider?

And please, only positive input, I like how the pro looks lowered, end of story.

1) depends on what quality of equipment you use, if you go with air rods instead of bags it will most likely be cheaper
2) yes, unless you do some serious cutting of fenders and s*** you wont go very low
3)air rods seem to ride better then bags, guess it depends on how well of a job is done
4) have you considered coil overs or just springs?

 

[Vulcanon]

yes I am considering them, I'm just curious about air bags though, don't really know much about them and I want to be lowered but not become a snow plow in winter if I don't have to

 

[mp5jeff]

if you want to save the money get some adjustable coilovers...and just raise em up for the winter, takes like 20 mins to do it, with bags or rods, your looking at 3k or more unless you plan on doing the work yourself but it will still be expensive..and if something breaks you goto remember that when your pricing

 

[Vulcanon]

3k? ugh...definitely out of my pricerange, nevermind lol

my son put a full air system in his honda. cost him 2k three years ago. he has had his share of problems with air leaks, fittings crapping out, new pumps and solenoids etc..he likes it of course.

the air lift company makes a complete kit for our car the sell for around 2k. it comes with everything you need to complete a bag set up on a p5

do not buy air cylinders!!!
if you notice, any where you see them sold they also have cylinder rebuild kits.thats because they are crap! they feel just like a car with hydraulics. the air has nowhere to go when hitting any bump causing it to ride stiff.
i suggest if you get coilovers, spend the xtra money and get the good one's. i have ground control and they ride like crap!!!

you will kill your handling... get some JIC's

 

[nocar]

ground control rides like crap ? is that compared to stock ; (
i wanted ground control but dont want it if its worse then stock for the msp

 

[s6xtysecassasin]

I got rid of my ground controls and got JIC still stiff as hell but not nearly as bad as the GK or Skunk2's

 

[bazooka joe]

how about the new tokico adjustable shocks? anyone use them on other applications? i'm considering picking these up. thanks!

 

[toyland689]

skunk 2 coilovers suck ....i'm sure they've fixed their problems now but i bought one of the first proto types and it took 2 seperate sets of springs and 5 months of cursing them too get them right and you know what..................they still suck.

 

[PaulMP3]

there are some new JIC out that are more streetable and cheaper,
