| I do have the metal spacers but I'm afraid they'll fall out. I was also looking into adjustable coilovers. | |

| bag set up for a rex is way more than 700 bones....think it is 300 for the front and 350 for the rear, lines, 6-8 or 12 valves at 35 dollars per. then your tank at 100 dollars at the cheapest smallest. and 150 dollars for a cheap compressor that wont work for crap. i have a friend that does it and i am bagging my rex and it is way more than 700 and i get 40 percent off everything i want....and line is about 100 dollars for steel lines and u need a switch box also...but that is what i am doin to help with the bags so if u need info go to suicidedoors.com and look up crx and it will have everything for ya...not too hard to do wither with airover shocks. | |

you don't need all of that. you can do schrader valves and maunel air, so all you need is the mounts bags lines and fittings. a company called avs out of cali quoted me that price about a month ago. | |

| i have coilovers on mine, it is level, i can raise it up about 3 inches more in the back, or lower it down all the way. i've heard some people say they don't like how coilovers ride, i think it rides good and handles good as well, in fact i had one person comment on how they thought it road better than a stock suspension rex. of course without the weight in the back from the stereo it is a bit bouncy it is about 1.5 inches lower all around in this pic |

| Ok, thanks for the input so far guys. I'm leaning towards adjustable coilovers just in case I have to raise it up.
I have doubts about quadwoods.
About letting that biatch sac in NY is not a good idea especially with potholes that develop in the spring because of wintersalt on the streets.
Where am I going to put a big azz air tank in my car? | |

| eibach, skunk 2 dropzone make good collarovers make sure you buy good struts with to use with them actual coilovers cost around $900 - $1500 depending on where you get them they are the actual strut with the threaded body for the adjustable spring perch and most have adjustable dampning. Steve Meade did give me this idea a couple years ago. run a pair of air cilynders in that back wich is like an air bag but shaped like a strut and replaces the struts and plumb them to a valve most likely a schader and fill them up with the tire chuck on your air compressor when i had looked into going that route it was only a couple hundred bucks | |

| id put air struts back there if it were me. Ive put air ride on honda's before and they rode like a caddilac afterwards. People will always tell you that you cant do this or do that with your ride.
Hell, people told me I couldnt bag my 4x4 jeep. Its bagged. | |
