What i always want to see when i view cars on air like in this thread is Ride Height pictures. Of course they all look great sitting on the ground, but driving around is also important.
What i seem to observe often with bags is it seems to be a compromise- you get an inch or two lower when aired out (but your wheels sink in more) and then you end up an inch or so higher when aired up at a good driveable ride height (and if you had good fitment when aired out, now your wheels are poking too much at drive height).
I haven't got bags and haven't had them before, this just seems to be my observation on air ride cars i see in photos and around the place. but then again, you just don't see many bagged cars rolling, it is usually the 'hero shot' where they're aired right out

Tailored is coming on August 6th - be there. Thanks to Mike Gilbert for being classy personified. This song is called Sean Broadway - http://www.seanbroadway.bandcamp.com.…
I think that audi nailed the fitment when lowered and when he is driving around. tho, the fronts are kinda sunk in, a little spacer would not hurt.
In for more bagged e30's.

I've been thinking about bags for the longest since I got my e30. But I keep hearing issues with maintenance. IDK if it's just shitty setups or just the systems themselves.
I'm sub'd for more info.Click here to leave me feedback on our transactions. :p

Most of the e30's on air are on universal bags. I have yet to see anyone with the bag riders kit. The price is insane and you still have to cut and weld. As far as I know there is no "bolt on" kit available.

I would rather have ORT bags than that shit.
And ORT does not make bags. They just sell them.

(cough)
I wish I was bagged sometimes, but I just don't think the e30 is the car for them. The perfect car to bag is one that tucks a lot of wheel when you lay it on the ground, so that when you air it up to drive, it doesn't look like a monster truck. Audis and Mercedes usually work quite well.
I've been working on this thing all week. At ride height, the front still tucks tire and the rear still tucks rim.

Never saw this thread. Here's mine
Airlift universals and Air House II's. Manual management.
For those wondering, reliability wise, what I run, manual paddle valves are about as simple as you can get. No sticky valves in winter etc.
Ride quality is that of a set of IE3's or H&R races. My front struts are damper adjustable which is nice too. I can raise the car up higher then a stock e30, or lay it on the pan.
Ride height isn't much higher then this. I can grab some pics of ride height and all the way up.
