This may be a stupid question...but what is the ride quality like for those of you with bags? I don't mean the inconvenience of being lowered, but the actual bounciness. And does the ride quality change depending on the position your car is (raised/lowered)? And since I've already started asking questions, can you adjust the height as you please or is it only up or down?

I really want to SLAM my xB, but I commute 100+ miles a day.

THANKS!

I drive about 50 miles a day, but switching to bags has only helped. I like the ride better. It is a little better than my old springs, but a little bouncier when the car is riding up really high. Other than that, it rides nice and is sweet to pull up and slam your car on the ground. I have the air lift kit that I bought from BFI in Sac. and it works great. No problems. It goes down to the rim in the front and tucks rim in the back. i'm running 18 x 7.5 +42. A couple pics:

A bag is a bag and a cylinder is a cylinder. Uhmm......the bag is rubber and a cylinder is round, metal, and looks similar to a strut with a spring in it but its solid so it will hold air. A cylinder rides horrible unless you run accumlulator and a bag rides good if you run shocks. No shocks with a bag is like running no shocks with a spring, because a bag is also called an "air spring"

I got bags too. I have had the Easystreets in the front for about 2 weeks now with no problems, and the rears are nothing but problems. i've had 2 diffrent sets of easystreet on the rear and i'll never use, or reccomend them! they suck! I just ordered 3 of the slam speacialties and brackets from FRIMINI.COM! Should be a simple swap. I'll be sure to get pics when i get the bags on the rear, but here are a few to drool over in the mean time!

Easy fix for the easy street kit rear is to loose the 2 bolts on the bottom of the bag. They pull the bag into a strange strech or bind, causing them to pull out the top ring. Getting rid of the bottom screw lets the bags slide a little when it needs to. I went through 7 bags installed there way, modified the kit to work like I thought they should and now have almost 6k on them with no problems. I am far from an expert, but I think the rear kit was designed badly, I don't think sleave bags are meant to act in an arch like the ES kit forces them to be in. I think sleave are more for straight up and down applications.
