Hey guys my car is almost complete and I have pictures of its progress. It is going to be radical in the sense that i havent seen anything like it done correctly. You guys will see it when I get the webpage up and running, but i'm wondering since i want to get a real low down-in-the weeds stance, would bags in the rear instead of springs be ok? I've been around the air bag scene for a while now and I know the pros and cons, but i havent heard of anything regarding drag racing. Would drag racing be hindered with bags in the rear? The springs I have now have had a few coils taken off to get it lower, but bags would save the comfort factor of the car. Does anybody have any ideas?

TTT :cool:

The air bags go inside the springs, not in lieu of the springs.

I know there are the springs that have bags inside of them, but what i'm asking about is a set up with just bags and shocks in the rear. My car used to have a full air ride set up on it when it had the 307. When I bought it, I decided to make some changes geared towards drag racing. Now that it's almost done and my wheels are on, I want to go lower then springs will allow. The adjustability of bags is wonderful. I can put bags in just the rear and since I have the spots for the compressor and valves already cut out, i can just put the stuff back in. I hear that tracks ban cars with full air ride set ups, and its no mystery why, but what about just the back two bags?

Hmmmm,

Interesting concept. I've just seen a lot of cars with 2" drop springs and air bags, ladder bars or adjustable trailing arms. Never seen any with just shocks and air bags, on a conventional street car.

Should still work pretty good. Just have make sure the bags are valved seperatley, so you can adjust pressure from side to side.
