THis is my front easystreet air strut after I removed it. You can see how the center band has started to bust. ANd it has 99 moded mounts instead of the easystreet mounts.

THis is my rear bag that seperated. THis bag popped and scared the crap out of me because I was sitting down cleaning my tire when it popped. It also happined the night before the first and only show I was ever going to put the car in.

I just joined that site as ESBaged (someone has ESB already)
Ive seen some post. ANd put in my 2 cents
All I know is that I'll never run this brand again.
Im going to be using Slambags on my truck. ANd I might stick some slam bags in the back of the cavy just to push the rear back up and keep it up when I throw some subs in the back.
I am all that is man
HOLY @!#$! Thanks for the pics and Im gonna keep checking out on mine!

What brand of bags is known to be the most reliable? I don't want to get a crap set of bags and have them blow out on me... Firestone? or Slam Bags? WHat other companies besides ART and Easystreet offer it for the cav.?

WTF dude, How did that happen. That scares me
Do you have bad roads?

^What PSI were you running also...
-Nate (ZeeTwankyFo)
MY roads are smooth arss blacktop and never seen over 100 psi. and even 100 was rare. Ive always run a 145 psi switch.
I chalk it up to the poor design of the bag. Ive seen plenty pics of other people have air lift bags seperate like that.
ANd as for the front bag. Ive also heard of those wires popping. Air lifts more expensive bags have a solid ring around the middle just like it has on the ends caps.
I am all that is man
for the money you spend not impressed at all

did that happen to both front bags or just that one? i mean ive had mine on for about the same amount of time as you and they have about the same milage on them and mine still look brand new. granted like i said, i never play w/ them and i hardley ever lay my car out

That explains..... and honestly what is point of having bags if u hardly ever lay the car out and hardly play with them too? Maybe your only reason of the bags is that u can adjust the height to avoid hitting and damaging your low drift kit?
It just doesnt makes sense to me for its price you paid for the bags. All I can say bags is fun! I get the attention like no other. Make it useful and worth every penny of your money! Enjoy it!

we all choose to do what we want w/ our money
Its only that one bag. The other looks perfect.
And as much as I hate to go back on my own words. "I'll never use those again"
I think im going to replace that bag and put the struts back on.
Every time I check my post in the pic forum and see my car laid out it makes me sick.
I miss it so much.
And out back I will NOT go back with air lift bags. I will run Slam Specialties bags.
They have a totoaly dif design and can handle the sideways bends they have to make when I lift up.
I'll post pics to show you what I mean.
I am all that is man
You can see in this pic how my rear are forced to into a curve when they lift. THis puts alot more pulling force on the backside. That back is the side that gave loose.

Bags act the same way on the front of trucks pushing down on A arms. THey bend like this. THis is way many people have stopped using air lift bags on trucks.
So Im going with a dif brand out back now.
I am all that is man
THis is the bag I want to run. Look at how well its sealing into the upper and lower plates. Ive never heard of one popping apart like mine did.
