i want to bag my tC but i can not find any videos on youtube that show off what a tc looks like when bagged
also is this a bad idea ? i was going to install the s-techs but i have 18inch rims & they will rub from i was told from alot of people & even a few shops
also how bad of a ride is a car with bags when not dropped ?
i did find this video on a xb with 20's that is bagged and it looks hawt UP9ZXPl1Cow

theres only one bagged tC that i know of. she is over on scionlife.
and that xB you posted lives in my area, i see him at shows from time to time and have seen that xB in various stages of build.
the entire suspension and frame down their is completely custom fabricated.

From what i hear is that you do not want to bag a tC you would want to air can it. This would provide you with a much better ride. Either way sometime thats the price you give when you give up that comfort for the look. But do it, I have only seen one tC in SoCal with begs and thats because she has the Chris Rado wide body kit. But she has a very clean set up.
Go for it bro.:mrgreen:

To do it right, i'd say about $4500+
Install the airtank in the trunk, or anywhere you want
I rode on cans/cylinders and they were shit, IMO airbags ride a lot better
But still, nothing compares to the ride quality of stock suspension
Airbags have their good days and bad days, when the atmospheric pressure is just right.
And forget about alignment, you're gonna chew through tires like crazy
Here's my highlander on bags :)

I installed the bags. Was a huge, but great learning experience. When I started the project, I hadn't ever used a jack, and hadn't even taken my wheels off before.
Sure, I'll let you test drive it, although it will probably feel different in a tC, but you can get the general idea. Some install pics: http://www.oznium.com/gallery/toyota/highlander/1/734
Yea, _Keith_ will do a great install job!

I know of a couple tC's with bags. 1 is a pure show car though. As a daily driver it's a stupid thing to do - your ride will be horrible.

sorry guys but i say bags are for fags.....with all that money you are going to spend on the bags...you could make your car so damn fast.....you could race your car at the tracks for alot of money.....thats what i would do if i had that kind of money to throw around....you could get a stage 3 turbo for that...thats just my few word on this subject....dont want to offend anyone....:up:
