i'ld swap out those cylinders & get some UAS bags

prob with bags on my car is that the "a" arms will rub the bags and break them. Cylinders are made for cars that dnt have alot of clearance. so cylinders are what im stuck with. I dont have same supension as neon

wow didn't know cylinders were made for cars without Mac Style Struts.........i would just cut the front end up to clearance for the bags to work on the UCA. then do what ever it will take to get the rear lower.

that would mean hacking my "a" arm that is messing with structure and not good for the car or my life lol

you would have to hack the UCA........you are adding structure to it by welding a bag plate to it. It's obvious you fail to understand what i am trying to say. Granted you wouldnt have to cut out as much as this guy (Adam) did, but you would have to add the bracing for the upper bag plates

here's a more practical look at it with the factory strut towers (whats left of them) & the other sheet metal still intact

Well if he doesn't cut shit. he won't even tuck tires or lay the kit, so what's the point of air if its not on the ground when your done.

Wicked cars dan , the red and grey one was just in mini truckin , I think.

The point is ground clearance at the flip of a switch & obviously he needs to be tucking for it to look decent. I'm trying help the dude because I know cylinders aren't worth a damn. Personally I wouldn't run them on any of my rides

Guys, I was kidding...

Now as to whether he takes/can afford to take your advice, is another matter.

Ok the ground clearance would be a good benefit, I know I hate not being able to use a parking lot cause I'm too low. But the pictures he posted that one its tucking and the kits not even grounded. I agree by no means am I comparing my knowledge to yours but the three vehicles I have done have all been bags as well.
