Who uses a rear air bag??
When my car launches it leans to the passenger side alot. I do not have a rear swaybar after I put in the 9 inch. Would a rear airbag really help alot? Would reinstalling the rear sway bar be the best bet? Use them both together? I am looking for those with experience before I buy an air bag. Thanks.
a sway would help alot i just use my stock 24 mm ws6 one.
but i do have eibach drag springs in the rear which came with the passengers side air bag already and when i put about 20 psi in it u can see the car rise up on that side so i know it helps at least alittle for traction.
i try to keep it at 20 psi, it seems to like to give me vibrations at around 2k rpm in overdrive but i dont care because it goes away if i am in drive and just cruising to and from work.

If you truley want to get rid of body roll use a weld in anti roll bar like THIS ONE . The air bag works ok. But nothing like the Anti Roll Bar. If you want to see a before and after you can check out MY SITE . The before is with an Air Bag, the after is with the Anti Roll Bar without the Bag. Best money I ever spent.

Ok, how about some more specs? Exhaust? Cubic inches? Rotating assembly? Any specs would be appreciated. Details please!
