Air Baggs + Turbo = ???

I love speed plus i love the idea of raiseing and lowering my car at a flick of a switch but the fact remains that traction will be a pain if i get the baggs with a turbo setup. What do u guys think about this?

Get some coilovers if you want to adjust your ride height frequently. Bags belong on small trucks and vehicles that don't handle that great, not on a prelude.

dont listen to any 1 hating the air

i just ordered my complete setup and will drop my car off @ the shop on the 16th.

i was also thinking turbo but decided to get bags instead but im sure a turbo with the bags wouldn't hurt you would still feel all the extra power but a little more weight and the handleing will be a little diffrent depending on how high or low you are at the time

BTW riding in a bagged car is not as nasty as you all make it out to be, i mean when its raised all the way up ( usally 4-5") it rides a little boxy but wouldn't you think it would??? when you learn your switches and can drop it to just a certain point it'll ride smooth and nice

Bags are cool to have but it isn't worth it. If the only reason you are getting them is to lower it and raise it with the flick of a switch I would say get coilovers. Bags also don't last. You should replace them every year or two. I would get air cylinders, they last forever.

lowering and raising coilovers isnt just a flick of a switch o.O

you have to take the wheels off. if they have the lock you have to get the keys. then you have to use that special tool to twist the ring down...its not like you can just twist the seat pirch 360degrees. It only lets u move like 45degrees at a time so it takes forever....But yea its not that easy! Or maybe Im just too weak to do that kinda stuff

^^ it's not that bad man I don't know bout tanabe, but w/ my tein's, I just take the tires off an I can raiser lower them w/ my hands if I wanted to, or you can use the tool. it is a pain tho w/ the tool only bein able to do so much at a time.

if you're doin it for car shows, then get air bags/cylinders, but if it's at all for anything else, then I'd stick to coilovers, you can get the height you want and you'll improve the handling as well

you also don't have them installed yet....so that means that you've only ridden in them sometimes....never experienced them completely w/ every aspect of driving w/ them covered :: I wouldn't get the turbo and the air bags...I'd say get one or the other, but I'd definitely get the turbo instead air bags are coo an all, but a turbo is turbo w/ the bags wouldn't be the safest thing either
