I got a solution. Buy air cups. You wont sacrifice handling as bad as bags.

See my post a few up. Cups won't do what I need, as I understand.

Really? Haha, good for them! I remember the year before last time, when we were lined up to do tech inspections, some people were told they couldn't run with bags. Maybe some folks kept it on the downlow? Anyways back on topic.

Have you ever thought of a cup kit instead of bagging your car? It's a pretty good alternative. I'm actually considering it as I am in the same position as you.

*ignore this if it has been said already. didn't read through all 3 pgs.**

THIS is oh so important, go airrunner struts, 2 compressors, accuair e-level (height sensors) and you will wonder why you even made this thread.

I actually called the guys at Platinum VIP and they said for example i could drive from San Diego to San Fransico AIRED UP just depends on user and not 100% recommend like air so if your only driving 40 miles that is plenty to drive aired. If you want more info just give them a call tomorrow..

I would never do something that isnt recommended to my suspension CUps simply arent meant to be driven aired up on, and if their Phantom kit is, they should not market it as cups or be more forward that they are 100% driveable aired up. It's not so much the round trip mileage anyways, 40 miles could take me 25 minutes or an hour and 25 minutes in Houston, so the amount of time my car is sitting on aired up cups is probably the bigger problem, not be over shadowed by the initial problem that my car would be aired up on cups

True story. Bags! I see an Air Runner kit in the classifieds but dont think he wants to ship... I may need to bribe him or people i know in Cali to pick it up and ship it to me.

BOO Clark! Why so boring!? haha It's true though, that is the simple solution but i'd still have an itch to do something to my car.
