This is probably stupid, but I was just wondering why people don't really use air suspension on their STi's? I don't plan on taking my car to the track or anything like that. It's just a DD, and I want to lower it, but I also don't want to really worry about scraping it or anything..

I read an article somewhere too, and a lot of people didn't like how he used air suspension.

^ We dont have four wheel drive. We have symmetrical All Wheel Drive.



"KSports, Just Bag It!! " is the slogan.

Bags are generally more expensive than static set-ups. Also, baggers aren't considered as hardcore in the slammed world. People are starting to come around to airbag set-ups. But for the hardcore people it just means that they go from laying frame to being 1/4" off the ground.

Generally, you don't do bags for performance. They're generally for comfort and style.

Airbags are kinda like lifting your dress when you go up some stairs.

I kinna abuse my car sometimes and launch a few times around the roads, but nothing too dramatic. So it would be okay to get bags for my car, and its not like detrimental to my car?

you can track your car on bags if you wanted too, the ride quality is really good these days. and im tired of driving this low. this is on level ground too

On a Subaru the alignment gets screwed when you change ride height so the bags aren't popular.

Does it get messed up that much if I was always raising and lowering my car?

The alignment is dynamic. You will have your specs at the height you got the car aligned at. If you raise or lower the car, your alignment will change. But when you go back to the height it was aligned at, it will be back to spec.

You should be aligned when the car is fully aired up

I plan to have a normal ride height, and dropped height for when I'm stopped/parked, and a raised height to go over bumps. If it's misaligned when I go over bumps and what not, could that really mess things up?
