Bagged Handling?
Monday, October 04, 2010 12:28 AM
I've been kinda thinking of bagging my '00 Z24. I had actually saw a older 3rd gen on bags on S10 forum, thats what kinda made me want me to bag it.
Hopefully when my S10 is done, it'll be bagged and with a 305/700R4 and then I'll have my bagged Z and my lifted Sonoma.

Anyways, how is the handling with bags? I find my Z fun to throw around a lil bit, and its stock. I may end up going with a set of springs instead of bags, but the adjustability of air ride is nice, especially when you pay tons of tax dollars and still have crappy roads and evil speed bumps.

Here is what I've been considering.. I can't bear to spend the dough on Easystreets..
Universal Air Suspension 'Aero Sport' Bags

and two of these for the front..
Universal Air Suspension 'Front McPhearson Strut Bag Mounts' <- theres a few spelling errors on their site..

and two of these for the rear..
Universal Air Suspension 'Rear Bag Strut Brackets'

I'm probably gunna do a simple f/b setup with a checkvalves to prevent the air from transferring from side to side, a pancake tank or small 5 gallon, etc.

I'm not sure if I will use my stock struts for now.. or get some better ones.. I do want it to handle better than stock.. but I don't wanna rip the bottom out of my car either.. dilemma

My cav handled a bit better than stock, but still nowhere near how it handles now. Also the ride was quite a bit worse than it is now too. And that was with the older Easystreet kit.. After having my car bagged for 2 years i firmly believe that bags are only useful on show cars.

Def. do not use your stock struts.




its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa

you're at roughly $1k with those parts BEFORE lines, fittings, valves, tanks, gauges, compressors, a controller and struts...

Save the money and do it right if you are going to do it. Go with the easystreet. Message Jason with A+ Performance and see what his prices are.
