So you're looking for bags to mount on a G35 on a M forum or buy G35 bags to mount on a M? Most people have used UAS bags over oem struts. Then upgrade to a set of coilovers on UAS bags. I have seen a few problems with airlift but on G37's. I am on D2 bags and I know of some others with K sport. Accuair for all the valves and control is the best way to go IMO for management.

How much does this cost? How hard is it to do? After the BBQ meet, I toyed with the idea of 'going big or goin home' for suspension. Is the ride more comfortable?

Well I have w huge discount on air lift. I'm planning on getting the g35 kit to mount on my m. The kit is pretty much plug and play. Everything is labeled and has full instructions. If you know how to install a radio and coilovers, you'll be able to install the kit. As for ride, I can't comment on air lift but my friends have uas bags over stocks and its too bouncy. My other friend has uas over BC and accuair management and it rides smooth. I'm just curious to see if there's any cons to air lift before I pull the trigger

How is aftermarket air suspension in winter...especially the brutal winters of NY of late with the salt? I've seen way too many Ranges and Expaditions riding on their tires in NY.

I live in Cali so I don't have to worry about winter haha. If you live anywhere with freezing conditions, you have to worry about water freezing up in the lines. Once your car warms up the lines, it'll melt it and work fine

idk too much about airlift's quality besides from what I mentioned on the G37. For cold weather as long as you have water traps you should be good and not have to worry about freezing lines. No problems with my car so far in freezing temps. You could also add the brake line non freeze additive to the tank if you want to be extra cautious. RM450GT lives in NY and I dont think he has had any issues with the lines freezing. For cost on bags it could run either 2500 for a baisc kit up to 4000 plus depending on what you add. If you have CO's already it would be a lot cheaper since you just have to remove the springs and add the management.

I installed installed my air kit. Sorry I didn't take pictures of installation. I don't have much time off work so I didn't want to waste any time. Now my question to you guys with air, how do you get the front to lay frame? I Can only get about 1 inch off the ground. Pics will be up tomorrow

Jack the car up, take off one wheel and put a jack stand under the lower control arm then lower the car and see why. I'll bet it's either the upper control ball joint or you front sway bar.
