dont got any pics sorry. but you should try searching the forum for a white gs, with air runner / branew body kit. mayb some1 can help you out. i think that dude was the only one that ever took a pic of his trunk.

they do make coilovers for the AWD now.
i dont have air but depending on how much of your trunk you use there are ways around it. on my old car forum ive seen people mount tanks to the underside on the rear deck (upside down in the trunk) and it saves some room. also depending on what size tank you want they make small "pancake" shaped tanks that could fit where the spare tire goes. granted i believe its only a 3 gallon tank so it wont hold much air for play time.

AWD in AZ? wow, does it snow there?
I think bags are double the price of coils installed. I say go with the coils if you need the trunk space. The GS is limited to begin with.
But it does look sick dumped. Dilemma, dilemma.

yeah, the previous owner had it shipped out from Connecticut or something, if i would have known how big of a pain in the *** awd is i would have reconsidered it. but i got a really good deal so i really cant complain. but yes, the bags are going to run 2000 plus install. the coils are around 1300 i think plus install. so for the extra grand i think id rather get the bags. but we will see. i want to see more info about these bc coils first.

what is taking up space in your trunk for the air ride, when my buddy had his magnum bagged, he put the compressors and valves where the spare was, so the only thing visible was his tank, thus the only thing taking up space is his tank. how is yours set up?

its actually really easy to fit it all in there. keep in mind you should really run a water trap with air ride. especially for people in areas where it gets below freezing.
anyway you can always mount your valves outside the car near the bags. the closer the valve is to the bag the quicker your bag will fill. obviously because the closer the valve is, the less distance the air has to travel. thats always an option if you want to save trunk space. also as i mentioned, mount your tank upside down to the rear deck if your looking to save room, it saves alot of space. if you want i can try and find some pics for you from my other forum. granted its not a 3GS trunk but it does give you ideas on what you can do.
