Hi, any reason for having a tube extension between the bag and upper mount? I'm waiting for my air ride package to arrive and realized my planning of the bag setup is different than how you have yours setup. I didn't account for any spacing at all between the bag and upper mount.

I'll be installing the Aero Sports on BC coilovers.

Thanks!

when i made that bracket (you really don't have to make that tube extension) i had it with the bracket plate and that tube fit perfectly on the top hat and hold the bag in the center so even if your car hops or anything that tube will keep the bag in the center all time so the bracket on the top won't scratch the shaft of the coilover and also for a insurance i also made rubber bushing on top bracket of the bag where the shaft goes through so it prevents from metal to coilover shaft rubbing.

Thanks for the details! So it wouldn't be a problem if the bag sits higher up into the strut tower right (no tube extension)?

I was a fan of your Q. Which is why I was surprised you went static but now with bags, your ride has a completely different demeanor. I'm sure you still have lots more planned.

Damnit! Your new stance after installing air is making me want to go with air so bad. How do you like the ride on the bags vs the bc coilovers? I'm really curious of how it affects the ride.
