ThisorThatxD 11-29-2011, 03:27 PM how are those c8sports? havent seen them except on ebay. same for nex. just looking at options, since they seem to get pretty low. i dont want to buy coilovers that dont go a nice chunk lower then i already am (2.2in on tein stechs). though lowest ive seen thats advertised was the nex at 2.5in all around.
xD_kidd91 11-29-2011, 03:52 PM going back to stock in a week or two for the winter. then next yr going moar low with new wheel setup.

homestretch123 11-29-2011, 04:51 PM im slammed on tein stechs and i love it only bad thing are the potholes it hits hard and my windshield wipers turn on lol.. think next time id go with eibach sportlines or if i had the money coilovers. itll be my first winter being slammed so this should be interesting.
xD_kidd91 11-29-2011, 11:07 PM Back when ii was on springs.. df to be exact. My car did not like snow lol .. some scenarios be like ur car being a shovel or hitting ur exhaust which is nothing but still lol .. ima take my coils off nd go stock
firstkingofbeer 11-30-2011, 04:54 AM im on dfs and last winter in nebraska i was convinced that the city of omaha should have been paying me for plowing their roads. im wanting to go lower as well, im just stuck on if i want bags or coils. they both have pros and cons though. i just dont know if bags will allow me to ride as low as i really want to ride without messing something up. but they would be nice coming up to speed bumps, or my driveway. they take up alot of space and have to do maintenance. coils on the other hand, you can ride super low all the time, if you wanna raise it up then you have to spend a while working on the car to raise it and they dont take up any extra space. decisions decisions.
xDTool 11-30-2011, 05:43 PM I was on ksports when I had my car.
fronts will go forever low, i wasnt able to get the rear as low as i wanted though, i think slim's setup is perfect.

sorry for the massive picture book
wish i could have gotten it as low as i can get my accord, i prolly would have never gotten rid of it.
YELOSUB 12-02-2011, 12:39 AM If you can afford to bag it thats what I would do...Hit up Randode, tell him I sent ya...
phatchef 12-10-2011, 07:56 PM bag it for sure. i love my 08 xb on air. if the wife would let me her 2010xd would be on air too.Randode does a great job
firstkingofbeer 12-11-2011, 11:13 AM can you roll that low on air though? i was under the impression if you did it would mess up the bags and be unsafe. maybe im wrong though
phatchef 12-11-2011, 08:44 PM i can roll aired out on my xb and still turn and what not
xDTool 12-12-2011, 03:19 PM can you roll that low on air though? i was under the impression if you did it would mess up the bags and be unsafe. maybe im wrong though
you can, i know there are a lot of people in the culture now that use bags where even at proper riding pressure, the car only raises 1-2" etc.
Its still all preference, i prefer coilovers to bags, but both have their place and people will have their preferences.
firstkingofbeer 12-12-2011, 07:07 PM do you have to get specific bags that only rise a little or can you use the normal bags they sell? im torn between which to get now. lol i was going to go with the coils just so i could always ride slammed since i thought you werent able to on bags. but if i could ride slammed with bags then that definitely would have pros like around speed bumps lol.

thats a question for someone a little more experienced with them.
i know K sport makes a nice air bag system that bolts up , its basically a coilover with a bag instead of a spring, adjustable dampening etc. ive had the chance to ride in an IS300 with the setup and the ride was phenomenal and he only had about a finger gap with his system aired up.
other than having ridden in a few bagged vehicles my knowledge of air ride is very very limited.
