Arrow TOUGH Decision.

Alright, I think I'm gonna need everyone's HELP!

I want to go on bags but at the same time I wanna go on a new set of coils to go lower.
1. I want to dump the car.
2. I want to be able to drive it.
3. I want my wheels to be poking out.
4. I like how you press the switches and the bags go up and down.
5. But I wanna look gangster when my wheels are poking and flush to the car, while driving.
6. I like the bagging VIP style, but I also wanna do it coilover style.

TOUGH Decisions! Help me out my fellow 2IS members!

I'll add a picture of my car tomorrow to show you how it looks now!

IMO the only real difference is the option to go up and down. You will have the choice to ride "dirty" with bags if you want, that's up to you.

if you bag it,
you can go with crazy offset like the ones that you have and lower your car to the point where your fender will be sitting on your rims (the lip) like lightwave76
his rims stick out little less than 2 inches all around at normal height

or
you can go with flush offset at driving height and still be able to slam when you park (that's mine)
or
you can go little conservative and drive super low all the time

bag it with your wheels that you have on now...then see whether you need lower or higher your offset on your next set of wheels...that seems to be the only reliable choice.

"Bag it" and call it a day. Post up pics when you're done.

Here's the thing! My front left strut is BENT! So I don't wanna waste time rebuilding it at TEIN or whatever. So I'm gonna use my stock struts with UAS, or go with Zeals or JIC. But what I really want is AirRunner!!! TOUGH DECISIONS!

if you want AR, why not just save up for what you really want? imo, its always nice to flip a switch to go over bumps and what not. Saves money from repainting, and cracked kits. plus you get to drive it at a height you like, and park it as low as you want.
