Default Bagging the F

Very excited to announce that my car is currently getting airbag suspension. Went with accuair management and Function Form struts. A shop located an hour from miami named Slammered is doing the work and the tech Danny is absolutely amazing at what he does. Here are some pictures of the tanks and trunk set up so far. Struts are arriving today and car should be done in a week or two. Updates to come!

haha you guys are so mean I knew as soon as I seen the title I had to read the responses.

I don't get wanting to lay frame with an F but like others said to each there own. I just think it looks silly and useless but some people love it and swear it rides just as well,

have fun with it!

Bags ftw. I bagged my last 2 Subarus and it was miserable to daily but in my friend's ISF it's like riding on a cloud. Super comfortable and you can still beat on it

Mine will be bagged soon enough

hahah you guys are brutal. Ive had cars with springs and coilovers and i am not a fan of coilovers at all. I Travel between PA and FL for work throughout the year so the ISF is only driven maybe half of the year. In miami and FL in general VIP and bagged cars is really popular and i just took a liking to it. Pulling up to a meet and airing out. Its pretty neat in my opinion. Just everything that comes with it. having a dope trunk set up, laying frame, tucking wheels. Here in PA its all about horsepower and HP is only noticed while driving. I needed something different for a change. Everything is direct bolt on if i ever want to go back to stock. It will be my first bagged car and i couldnt be more excited!

Other than being lower, what are the pros/cons of airbags vs coil-overs or springs?

My F is bagged and its so much more convenient towards coil overs. My purpose to bag my F was because I was worried more of my front apron scratching, being the Black bison front hangs low I still wanted to lowered look with the ease of a button to raise my car over bumps not sacrificing tearing up my front bumper. I still will keeps my KWV3s when I get over the bags but for now running Airrex w/ Accuair is a smooth set up so far.

Can't wait to see the finished product. I'd be laying lip on the ground and tucking wheel if I was on air.
