no i had eibach's in my 94 and nevr used the bags......i think the bags would help if you launch hard you could run differant pressures in the bgs to help the car from twisting ....i was pulling 1.56 60' times with no bags

I woul take the strut off and then take it to a mechanic to change the springs over..... You dont want a spring to go flying through your window

Please post on the correct fourm. "airbag/spring" questions don't belong on "LT1 Engine Tech". Moving to "Suspension........"

Second request.
