Bagging a BD

[MarkSubi]

Does anybody have any Idea if theres any air suspention systems that would fit a BD legacy?

[d1giPhux]

Oh god.. :smt010 I sure as hell hope not. Total rice. Then again, with all the newcomers, subarus have been turning into rice for a couple years now. :smt021

[Huffer]

Not right off the shelf they won't, but most bagged systems require a little finessing anyway.

and lay off the riceroni remarks. Or I'm locking this thread.

For a performance orientated "air ride" system, Praxis (a division of Firestone) made an air ride system for the 02-07 WRX a few years back. But they're no longer producing it. It offered 3 ride heights, Normal, Sport and Track. The alignment was based on a static camber change, and I think you had to change the damper settings manually. It was a pretty cool system but the compressor took up a lot of room and weight.

[MarkSubi]

Ah okay, Yeah I'm expecting anything with air suspention to cost a very pretty penny so this is something that will be awhile before I do it if I still want to buy then but I want to get my research in now before hand.

Oh and thanks Huffer about making sure no one keeps bringing up ricer crap. Obviously some people have never herd of VIP.

[Huffer]

VIP and bagging aren't necessarily the same either.

[MarkSubi]

I know but most VIP cars are bagged. and I'm actually trying to go with a more luxury style to my BD

[Matty2Hotty]

Yeah any 00-04 WRX/STI air bag system will work, just have to google it or check eBay. It's NOT ricer to have bags, it's really nice adjustments for whatever mood your in not to mention pretty comfy counting on your setup.

[MarkSubi]

Hell yeah thats why I want to be bagged, One, because I want to make my car more into a luxury car and two, I want to be slammed and still have a ride as smooth as being on struts.

At 1 point, Subaru offered it on 1 of there models. A while ago, I came across a pair for sale.
That said, can't say it never crossed my mind. Would work well with my lifestyle.

Ask and you shall receive two things.

1) Endless posts of why not to do it.. Plain and simple .. throw your suspension geometry out the window!

2) The answer => http://www.ebay.com/itm/KSPORT-AIRTECH- ... 3cb10c79df (http://www.ebay.com/itm/KSPORT-AIRTECH-AIR-SUSPENSION-PRO-95-99-SUBARU-LEGACY-/260668422623?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cb10c79df)

It can be done with or without the K-sport kit... Is it worth it.. sure if you don't care about the specifics of suspension components and you never have to deal with winter conditions.

To each their own.. Legacy slammed on bags w/ crazy camber + baller interior = VIP in my books .

i have to say that would actually be really amazing...

[TGX4776]

i really want to VIP my Buick (thats JDM style not DUB style)

[hallowpoint]

DO IT, although i like static cars better bags are sick. theres a few systems on the market and im sure a couple more will come out in the future. D2 makes some and air lift company just realeased theirs.

VIP is where I'm wanting to go in away and I'm in Houston in the cypress area so even when it snows where I'm at its ether an inch or less and thats if it even gets that cold so yeah, no winter worries.
