What company's make the airbags that you stuff in your rear springs to stiffen things up. My slicks are rubbing when I launch hard and I would rather get a set of these then roll my fender lip.

Not sure if you need the springs though, these look like the airbags themselves, not sure though.

prolly because its body work.. which means expensive.. u could ruin ur paint.. not to mention ruining the factory body lines...

its also a lot more work than just putting in a drag bag.

Air Lift makes a rear airbag kit. It retails for around $70.00 and you can get it from Summit Racing. I have this kit and it contains two airbags (one for each side). I've had it in my car for 3 years and they haven't leaked yet.

Eibach's drag bags SUCK. I'm ripping mine out and throwing it away whenever I get around to dropping the rear end to do LCA's next spring...

I run 35 psi at all times and it's fine. Both of them are connected to one line so when I filled them up, I only had to fill one valve.
