I have a set of airbags, pump etc from my car when I had it in LA. Before I brought it east and removed them. Thinking about selling the setup.   Yes, LA Baby-eeee.  stoned#

Jay,

one of my favorite shows is "Livin the Low Life " on speed channel. ya might not be a big fan of "crushed velvet & mirrors" but you gotta admit theres something really cool about some of those cars especially the early ones. Vida Guerra isn't bad either!

Many more years than I care to admit I lived on the "wrong side' of Huntington Beach Calif. Back then there were tons of lowered cars crusin around on a friday or saturday night. Some were cobbled together junk but some were works of art! The idea back then was if you could get a pack of cigarettes under the car it was still too high!  A dropped Vdub, its tempting!

War-Low Rider, that is way too cool. One of my all time favorites that I sing almost daily. Just looooooove that song.
Played a big jazz band version with a group a few years ago. Lots of exceptionally great musicians and an outstanding arrangement. It was good, it was fun, but nothing and I mean nothing can replace the original version.

Back then we would put 2 X 4's on their side, and just heat the coil springs and the car would drop onto it. twice around the car and you were done (second time anealed the spring). No thought to suspension geometry and the cars rocked like the 25 cent horsie ride outside the supermarket P#3

Details/price on the setup?  Im looking to bag my caddy soon (I doubt your setup would work on that) and maybe the Manx too.

Jim. These bag setups won't work on a heavy American Lead Sled. They are built and sized for VW's setups. I have someone that mentioned that they have interest so not sure at this time of the status.

[/quotyeah didn't figure it would work for the caddy but I'd like to drop the Manx too. No rush here so if they become available just let me know. I'd love to see some pics of the setup if you have them just to get ideas.
