Anyone know where I can get my UAS bags mounted on my Megan coils (welding the rears, for a 3gs.) For a good price, I have someone to install the system for me but won't take apart the coil and put the bag. Any help would be great! Thanks guys!

don't you need custom rear mounting brackets to make this work? the bag will need to be set pretty low on the coilover body in the rear for it to work.
any links to show how this is done, for my education?

Tim, the lower portion of the coilover sleeve is shortened. Basically the dead space between the lower shock mount and the threaded portion is removed and the 2 remaining portions are welded back together to allow the bag to sit all the way down, so the car can tuck rim in the rear.
As a result of shortening the overall length of the coil a top hat spacer has to be created to allow the shock to bolt back to the chassis. This also requires making tabs to keep the bag in a fixed position or it'll rub and blow the bags from the inside. I was working with the prototype design years ago, and the bags kept on blowing every 3 months. I know its been reworked many times since then to fix all the issues.
This is something that I would have UAS do since they would have the most experience modifying the coilover. The last thing you want to do is rub and blow the bag because it wasn't done properly.
