#20448, "Springs -vs- Airbags"




          

Ok tell me this has anyone put airbags on there eclipse? If so how does it ride? I went into get my oil changed at a local shop and this guy asked me if I would be interested in buying a full set of airbags for my car fo about $350. I said maybe, then he goes on to tell me his friend only had them on his car for about 3 months then someone hit his car and he took the insurance money and bought a 2002 Integra RSX type S. But he said the bags weren't damaged at all and the deal included all the hoses compressor and the big tank he is gonna bring it to work tomorrow so I can take a look at it. So lemme know what you all would do its either the airbags or eibach springs. I dunno what to do here SOMEONE HELP ME.

I would say go with the airbags if you wanna go show. From what I've heard the ride with airbags isn't all that great, but then again others will argue that it's better than stock. Either way, if you don't get them let me know cuz I've been looking for some for a while now.

ok, well, i never got them in my eclipse, but i dont think the headache is worth them, think about, you blow a seal, gotta spend 80-150 to get a new corner, then you gotta rip it apart put it in, hope everything is tite. it can leak, your hose can rip, if you want to go low, buy some coilovers, vector has them on his car, so he can tell you, but thats my insight on them
