Anyone sportin' airbags?

I like the idea of adjustable suspension.

Anyone know what it would cost to pay for the parts? (Labor myself.)
Just googled it. Found a kit for $800 lol.

I remember seeing pictures of a car on here that had air bags.. specifically I remember seeing one tire tucked up with the rest on the ground lol. Not really looking to do it anytime soon but I am curious about it. I like lowered, but it would be impossible as a daily driver.

What do you all think about that? (Just trying to spark a conversation, i'm bored.)

That seems too cheap for bags really, if anything they will leak or tear. I thought about it a while back, but seeing as how many suspension setups are available for our cars that will get you to rest on the ground, it just doesnt seem to justify the cost.

ive thought about this but it would be too expensive.

Well the kit I found was $800. It was the cheapest one the site sold, there were no brackets, you had to fabricate it all. (Which is fine for me, I have plenty of metal cutting/welding tools. The most expensive kit I think was $2200? I'd go cheap and fab what I could.

And adjustable coil overs are too much work for me lol. I'd love to ride around slammed but some buildings I have to go to have a steep incline, in which case, I'd destroy my car if it was lowered.

Air bags seem cool lol. I doubt they'd tear, air bags are built really strong. Hell semi-trucks have them, i'm sure smaller ones for Integras would be fine.







...thinking about it now, I have two air bags and a car's air compressor.. now i just need to find two more. xD

Makes me wonder what all I'll need besides the air compressor and air bags. I have an air compressor out of a Cadillac for it's air ride, i'm sure it works lol.

They would be MUCH easier to drive with. I debated it but i wanted the cornering ability and stiff ride of my coilovers.

For daily use, they are seriously impractical.. I have a friend who has/had them (he's selling them for coilovers) and he hated it. Ride was crap, performance was no good, only thing it was rly good for was when he was bored at stoplights lol

I wonder how much cornering is really effected. Besides, if you drop it down low, I assume it would corner well.

Only thing I'd be worried about on a DD is the ride quality. I've thought about baggin my DB1 plenty of times, just don't want to make a mistake doing it. I have Tokico struts/springs that go on an EF. That dropped my shit real low :D

I've seen some1 with an air big civc, he daily drive, and 1 day decided he wanted to race it, long story short front 1 tear opened and blow, don't wanna here what happened next, so i suggest don't consider taken anything wild turns if your getting an $800 kit

Height is a small, small part of a vehicles overall handling. In many cases when people slam there cars to the ground handling is actually worse than if they sat a few inches higher.

Most bags dont corner well, and the ones that do arnt going to be put on a Integra. Thats due to the costs of the kit.
