holy shit $1k. i thought ride quality was good with bags and yes i am looking for performance. maybe i wont go with them. i just wanna lower my car but still have a half descent ride and have good performance still. thanks guys.
from the previous post, it seems as if tho 1K$ is a lot for u,, so the motivationals are out of the question..............Ground Controls are nice for the money
.......o...m....g
anyone that says bags wont work on ANY car has never dealt with them. they can be pretty much used on any car, problem is, noone wants to custom fab some brackets to make a special kit for our cars. cylenders are like hydrolics with air. there fast, ride like shit, and in most cases installation is way more than a really good set of coilovers. eventually with cylenders you will also get the same problem as with hydrolics, a twisted frame (only if you beat the crap out of em, or very, very often use)
find a good shop, get a set of fast bags put on. you will never have clearence problems again, because bags can raise past stock heigt, as well as lower. for bags, go with Firestone or something on the same quality. dont go cheap, especially on the valves.
also, do what you want to your car, and dont let people say "well this n this will work better in the end". cause so far, it seems noone that has replied has very much knowledge on the subject of bagging, not to start a fight, but people are too eager to change minds.
i tell ya, the last few shows ive gone to, theres been vw's, mazda's, and yes, honda's sitting on air. guess whos getting the attention. specially when they start movin n shakin, really draws in a crowd.
lastly, all a bag system is, is just an air suspension that you can adjust the height. if it were so uncomfortable, why are caddies n lincolns an (insert really good car here) using em?
......i seem to have alot of pennies laying around lately......

thanks slayer for the input.how much you think bags are gonna run me then. and, how are cylinders a bad ride and how do they decrease your performance other than because of there wieght.
there is really nothing performance-wise about cylenders, there kinda jus for looks. very bad dampening, if any, gives for a very stiff ride.
for pricing and info, talk to the people over at air-ride tech, they helped my friend out alot with his altima instal. they wont have a kit (i dont think they do anyway), but will help you put it together piece by piece, then tell you a good local installer near you.
A MacPherson style strut with an airbag encorporated in it.
Forgot to add something. alot of people are prolly gonna say that a compressor and tank and lines fill up a trunk. .....lucky for us the sentra (dunno about the 200sx) has a big, hollow rear bumper, a perfect place to hide the tank.
