I'm debating airbags. Has anybody ever installed them? I think I would like them better than coil overs. :gotme

No kits available that I know of, so would be a custom job (aka expensive).

here is my V on coils...

i have the rear about 3/8" (~10mm) lower now, and only have about 1/2" of travel before i rubthe inner fender well.
the front can go another inch (possibly up to 1.5"), but my tires hit as is (both the fender and the inner fender bracings). streched tires on 16" wheels would make it ALOT easier.

as far as air bags go, a cube member has air bags (they might work on the V), search for randode to find him.

you could also talk with dan a realcamber.com... he can set you up with bags

i was going to get some for my cube but went with the versa coils from k-sport for now, and if i decide on bags i can use the front struts

Micro Image is looking at doing a system for the Versa this Fall. I tink they were pricing it at ~$2k?

after inspecting the DAMAGE of 3 months of drive the cars at that height, i decide not to go any lower.

i have hit both fender pretty good.
rubbed a hole in the bottom side of the relay box that you see under the hood on the drivers side.
rubbed part of the wireing harrness on both side.
rubbed the windshield fluid hose on the pass side.
cut the tire on the drivers side on the fender beacing.
rubbed the in side of both fender wells pretty bad.

so i raised it to be able to autox. the versa just isnt made to go low.
