I say go for it. Ive been thinking of the same thing also.
But you should get air cylinders instead of the bags. I did hear that the ride is alot diferent.

But for you that dont know why to get them ill tell you why im getting them. TO SAVE MY FRONT BUMPER!

honda318dx--- Obviously if someone decided to go with airbags they would take into consideration that there car is going to perform different. Also its not all about racing, there are some show goers here. Im about show why not get them. I dont care about my ride cuz its not even a daily driver.

i think what you are mistaking here is that a lot of what makes a show car is realizing the detrimental effects certain things can have on your car. When your cars performance is seriously lacking because of useless, harmful mods than the show goes out the window. This is a tech board where these type of things are unheard of because, well, they have no positive technical effect on your car.

Yes but if you are a show car and you got all the mods you need, performance wise, you could add on the airbags to score more points.

Im sorry I overlooked that this is honda-tech more for tech. so theres no use of argueing about it. We all have different views on what we want to do with our cars.
