or if you don't have the money for the koni's, get the tokico blues. They can be found for 240 on ebay.

recommend what? the teins? because it is a full shock and spring calibrated for each other... for about 100-200 more than a koni and spring set up.

better ride better ajustability and u can change ride height accordingly.

u can get neuspeed sports and koni's too.... that has a good looking drop on lower perch setting of the konis.

everywher ei have looked airbag kits are cheaper then cylinder kits. Well anyways i got this friend who owns a suspension shop down here. He jacks of jeeps and drops all sorts of things and he is getting me a good fuckin deal. Which is a better ride cylinders or bags? Better question what are the advantages disadvantages of bags vs. air cylinders?

Don't they make the bag struts that bolt on to the car. Bags ride good especially if you can somehow mount a shock to your car. My truck had a better ride with bags than with the stock suspension. Too bad the CL is getting cylinders because I got such a good deal on them but i want to get bags for it later.

they do not make bag KITS, plus IMO i dont think a bag will fit into our suspension setup, you can buy the firestone bag but you will need to make custom mounts, its easier to get air struts or cylinders

and also..bag are bags, youll have no support in the center of the bag so the suspension wont be firm unless you modify it
