they were going to charge me 1500 for a set up but I changed my mind
It is possible it's been done on the 200

I got the FBSS kit, but I'm only gonna run one 6 gallon tank for now, since I'm just about out of money(can't wait for my tax return) but the main reason I'm puttin the bags one the car was to be able to clear speed bumps, those Omega skirts are just too damn low, right now with sportlines and on 18s, I can fit only two fingers between the skirts and the ground.

Well, I'll put some pics up as soon as I have time to take some(work and school takes up most of my time) but my car is like 3 different colors of primer and faded stock paint now, I'm hoping to get the paint done before spring break, I'm waiting on my bro to get his friends car out of his shop so we can get mine started, everyone is trying to hurry up and get ready for the break. As for the air cylinders, I know my kit uses them in the rear, while the front has the strut bags, it's all pretty much bolt on, if you wanted the cylinders in the front too, it might involve some kind of custom bracket making, not sure though

ok heres the scoop on cylinders (they are more dependabale than bags and the take less air than bags meaning your compressor wont come on as often the only real down side is that there AALOT slower than bags so dont expect your car to hop... and with cylinders they only extend like 4 inches meaning you have to choose high or low..meaning if you want your car to sit on the ground it will only go up like 4 inches from that but if you want it to sit high then it wont go very low!!! get me??? see with bags i can sit on the ground if i want but bags extend like 8 1/2 inches so i still sit higher than stock when there pumped up!!! but bags have a down side to!!! they add alot of weight to your car and with the nissan b14 chassy the front springs turn with the wheel so if you put bags on there it has to turn the whole bag which makes turning a little harder but you get used to it!! o and anuther thing if you look at the back springs of a b14 they sit at a slant!! and bags cant sit at a slant cuss they will buckle.. so they have to make new brakets that make your struts sit strate up and down....well thats about it!!! any questions lol??
