I love the bagged look. My car is a daily driver, and I drive it at least 50 miles a day. Are there a lot of people out there with bagged boxes that actually get driven? I know a lot of people who have bagged cars, but they just sit in the garage until a show comes around.

My car is currently stock height and I want to drop it so bad, but isn't it kind of pointless to get new springs, install them.. then do an airbag system? I figured it would be a waste of cash..

I just can't stand how high my box sits.

 

coilovers are cheaper and very adjustable. you can slam a box with coilovers too ya know!

 

Bags can be driven on daily without issue. As long as you get a good installation on quality parts, you won't have any problems.

Air suspension also offers far and away better dynamic adjustment than coil-overs. Not that coil-overs don't have their place. But coil-overs are set at a height until you physically stop the car, park it get out and adjust them from underneath the car. Air suspension is up at the flick of a switch. Which would you rather have when you have to straddle some sort of debris in the road?

Of all the kits currently available, I would go with Airrunner if you could afford it. If not the Airlift/Easystreet kit can work well also. Many though, decide to add a set of Cusco camber plates to help with alignment issues on the Easystreet kits. That adds close to $300 to the cost for an Easystreet based set up.

If you decide that air suspension isn't for you I highly recommend the Tanabe DF210 springs. I installed these on my wife's xB and the drop is great while maintaining good handling and a smooth ride.

 

Yo Dot,
Ben, Pooty & I are all bagged and our xB's are our daily drivers.
While it is not 100% trouble free, if you have a hand in the install and understand how the system works, you can easily fix any issues that may arise.
Don't be scared because it is your daily.
