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.

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.









my short stint with 15's:







and with 16s:





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.

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.

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.
