Installed my airbags this weekend...what a difference!!!!!!

My tires rubbed soo bad and with the airbags in I am yet to rub. The car rides much much smoother also. It took about an hour to install them and the end result is amazing. Plus when I goto the track I can let all the air out of the right side and max the left side and my car will no turn sideways at all.

ROTFLMAO Not suplemental restraint system air bags, air bags that go in you rear coil springs to help preload the chassis. DUH!

Let the air out the right side? That's the passengers side. It should have more air in it than the drivers side. My race car usually has 15 psi in the passenger side and 5 psi in the driver side.
