Bags suck on a DD. The ride sucks at best. I have DD'd my cav for 2 years on bags(Airlift's Easystreet) and cannot wait to ditch them. To get a "decent" ride i have to slam the car and run the risk of destroying my control arm bushings, rubbing my tires on my inner fenders, and bottoming my car out. If i put the car high enough to clear everything it feels like i have 2x4s for suspension. The only way i'll ever bag a cav again was if i was building a garage queen show car.

If you are concerned about your family then stick to a decent set of springs and struts.

if your going to have a baby i wouldnt get bags. the whole systems takes a good amount of trunk space. and not only that, but the compressor gets a little loud if you dont manage to get it quite. when i had my bags it road pretty soft.

i would get basics.. only because the yellows are an insert only. meaning you have to hollow out the stock front shocks. nothing wrong with it. after buy sportlines and a new set of yellows, your right in the price range of a some tein basics.

to install koni yellows in the front, you take the stock struts and cut the top off them, lift the guts out, than place the yellow insert inside, also drill a hole in the bottom and a bolt goes up from the bottom.

Ok so kyb agx cant take sport lines and still be under warnty so it would have to be with the pro kit. Now the tein basics r nice and same price range but do i need new mounts it says on the website i need something from the99 up i thought they were all the same this is my final question and my choice is between those 2 set ups so what do yall think
