i don't hear any rubbing when the car is moving, but if i dropped it to the ground, you can hear the bag rubbing w/ the frame.





I'm using megan + UAS bags. Please help, how did u guys avoid this ? It seems reallllly close w/ the frame *see pictures*. You can see a rubbing mark in the bags as well.

3gs or 2gs? lol sry


for the 2gs (assuming since its on your sig) you gotta run it so the back is on the bottom since the OD of the bag itself is a lot larger than springs. This means you should run a different rear shock like the OEM shocks.. Bilstein,koni,kyb etc.

i think thats how people run them doing a coilbag setup for the rears.

^ I belive vywnn is correct or you should contact Zach at Universal air. I think that they mock up a bracket that you can use for the rear so you can use your megan coilovers....

2 or 3 GS the bag should be at the bottom...

Rear of a 3GS should look like this

vwynn, mine is 3GS actually.

sticky4 : thanks for the pics. how come urs so all the way to the bottom ?? what kind of bracket u have there ? the one on top of the bags. man, look so different than mine.

it's a custom bracket that UAS makes for aftermarket coilovers.... I'll reference my thread in here so you know what you're dealing with. I'd reccomend you go back to whatever setup you were on previously before you blow those bags in the middle of a slammed session =\

thanks XxGoKoUxX !! man, i should've read that thread, i didn't realize how close it was to the frame. i was in stock before. i guess i have to take it apart the rear and cut some part at the bottom huh ?

XxGoKoUxX

lol, don't cut it yourself, send it off to UAS, i mean it's a bit costly, but that peace of mind is all worth it..... They also spray over your coilovers so that it doesn't rust either (if that's any consolation. Good luck!!

OHHH, i forgot to mention before i screwed u over, it's not ONLY cutting the bottom and putting the shock towards the bottom, it also involves you having to make an adapter plate to compensate for the difference of the top and bottom. Hope that explains it (go back to the thread for further reference).

i just noticed last night, mine actually as low as sticky4. the prev owner already got the mods on rears done by UAS. and yes i have the adapter too, but my adapter looks different than yours XxGoKoUxX.

do u have a close-up pic of the adapter ? how does it bolt on to the rear ?

XxGoKoUxX

i unfortunately don't but when i get the chance i'll try to upload it for you, I can try to get it up and going for you as soon as possible for you (might be a few days since i'm on a packed schedule and not at home).

Can you post what your adapter looks like?

sticky4

Not mine but you can see what it should look like.

If I remember correctly the sleeve is 5" and the adapter is 3".

I don't have any rubbing issues at all.

XxGoKoUxX, i took a picture when i installed it and i deleted it after that I'll snap another one later when i uninstall everything, i need to fix this....cant sleep at night knowing im rubbing LOL.

thank you Sir !! XxGoKoUxX, i think my adapter look very similar to sticky4 !

XxGoKoUxX

Well, mine's is the EXACT same setup, so I'm not sure why your's is rubbing if your's matches sticky4. I'd say contact previous owner and confirm they're modified by UAS, otherwise they might need to be remodified. Also, sticky's rear struts look like they sit a lot lower than your's.... notice how your bars are AGAINST the wall while sticky's is UNDER the wall.

P.S. Sticky4, how do you still adjust your dampering when that big huge gap is above the dampering ****?

go with a cup kit suspension instead of air bags...you will never have this problem...
