you're being sarcastic right?.... he meant airbags as in suspension parts.. not the safety airbags that deploy in an accident

the only time i heard about bags on a 240 was this one time in taiwan...just kidding. actually, if you watch grip volume 2, the out takes, one of the guys walks past a red 240 and goes "that's not how you do an fíng 180sx, with the air ride"something like that.

oh shoot, it's toshi.

Ah, don't bash because I drive a honda, it's a very good car to get me back and forth from college. I'm sure a 240 has been bagged, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out a way to put certain bags for one car in the susp of another, also considering susp parts swap out considerably easily (especially in the rears) I would imagine bags for a 240 a very easy thing to accomplish, but def not worth it in any shape/form/fashion.

That's from Praxis. I've only read about it, but it seems pretty damn cool. Of course, like most other cool things, I could never afford it.

The system sells for a little over $3K...Tirerack sells 'em.

Edit: I just realized that this doesn't have much to do with the thread topic, other than to prove that air suspension doesn't have to be "all looks" and can be functional.

yea, i can possibly see getting a air-strut system so you can stiffen your ride for the track and soften it for the highway, but im talking slammed like a light truck painted primer gray.

why would you ask a question like this? No one in their right mind old ruin the suspension of an S chassy with airbags. and if they did, NICO would hate them, and they should be ashamed.
