To do a tein flex coil overs with air bags in place of the springs?

 

Hmm, I think you need to reword what you said. I don't get it.

 

no...

you are thinking like a truck - helper air bags with shocks...

doesn't work that way with vehicles that have coil over shocks...

 

It will not work with the flex's. Flex coilovers are supposed to have spring preload at all times and the strut travel is not that much. On the otherhand, using the SS or CS as well as many other brands should work with bags because many do not require spring preload and have longer strut travel. That is why the Flex coilovers are also full length adjustable so you can lower the vehicle without touching the spring preload. Hope this helps.

 

Hey thanks for the info.

Do bags perform well? I mean really well. My matrix is set up to do 0.92 in the skid.

I know that the flex is better than the SS and SC but how?


When I get my sc300 I wanted to go with flex and an edc system. But I will have a body kit too. It would be nice not to have take everything at an angle.

 

Its been done on the HKS Hyper D coils by a member here on the forums. Ommagawd (or something like that) is his username. As far as performance goes, I dont really hear alot about people with bags coming out to the track. But what did surprise me was that people with can overs do pretty good.

 

Are you saying that coil overs are not as good as a spring shock combo or that with coil overs a person's skill level matters less?
