Air Bag Lift Things?

Can someone tell me about the air bags that people use to lower/raise their cars like the pimpcars do? a guy at my school has something to do with air and bags on his truck and he can drop/lower it at any time. i think it would be F-ing cool to pimp the Pro like that

please inform me!

my question is....do you even care how your car handles? if you do....air bags are NOT the way to go...as you will lose ALL your handling capabilities that you now have.....

evidently youve never owned a bagged car!! My honda was bagged then switched to cylinders. Im getting bags from Air Lift Company (Easystreet) and they build their kits to ride right. Ill have more info soon! Once i get them installed.

My tacoma was fast bagged, handled like pure ****, but I could lay frame :-) I would never do that to my P5.

Is it possible to "program" the bags to deflate when the ignition is turned off and inflate to ride heigth when the ignition is turned on? That would be hella sweet! Park it, turn off the car and have it as slamprotege5 said, "lay frame"!

I guess ya'll dont understand the concept of air valves then. The technology is SO advanced now. If you use 4 corner control (in my case 8 valves...4 up and 4 down) and the right line, tank, and compressor set up....you will love it. When i first had my Honda bagged like 4 or 5 years ago, it sucked too. BUT......that was just front and rear controls (2 way) and it was 1/4" line and manual push button controls. Talk to some of these guys that SHOW thier trucks all the time and see how they like it. I know hundreds of people that drive thier bagged ride EVERYDAY!! Just like anything else.....If its done right....it works right!!

As for the "up when you start the car", theres no way to set the right air pressure like that. THey do have remote controls available. Push a button on your alarm remote and it goes up or down.
