Bagging an EP3 (Hate on this please)

[eloc49]

I'm toying with the idea of bagging the EP3, I know its been done, but theres not a ton of information out there on this particular setup, and I want to get CONSTRUCTIVE discussion going on this topic. One question I have is how feasible is it due to the lack of shock travel in the rear? Has anyone tried the ksport,arrex, or airlift kit? What could be said about the reliability of your shocks when on bags? I know you cant ride crazy low, but thats the point. I want to park low, and ride at useable height. Anyone have info on bagging an EP/DC/EM/ES?

This looks somewhat promising.

Ive never heard of "bagging" before. I read the link and it seems like its for simply dropping your ride height. more insight?

[eloc49]

Instead of springs you use air bags and you can adjust ride height whenever you want. I.e. going into a driveway

[danito321]

Is it similar to what is used on lowriders? that sounds pretty cool especially if you are super low. i remember being somewhat low on my racelands and it was an absolute pain pulling into driveways and dips. this wouldnt be an idle setup for track though correct?

Right, not good for track, however air suspension is getting better as far as performance goes. My car is a DD however, and won't be seeing the track. I'm emailing jaycray (maker of the modified koni struts) and see if I can get some more info

Found this EM2 on Megan coils/UAS bags in the front, and airlift universal struts in the rear. Looks promising... http://www.stancenation.com/forums/showthread.php?8715-Just-another-Civic-build-(2004)

Some guy in like puerto rico has it. He said he had no problems. Dont know his name on here but I did see it on the Facebook group. I would say do it then tell us.
