Let us know how it works out for you. I've been thinking the same thing, as the BMR bags for the GTO's make one heck of a difference. I just haven't tried them yet on a V. Bob

A friend of mine has them on his 05 GTO, his coils were a different size. I think they are using bags from an Envoy. I'm going to get his car on the dyno today and check them out closer. It looks like a cheap easy solution possibly.

well then I guess I wont be using the gto bags< you sat the envoy may work. I think the SRX will work but cant find the part number for them. if any one has the part number for teh bags for the srx please post them.

I remember someone trying this a long time ago saying that it did nothing for wheel hop...

Seems logical since our suspension with the Nivomats is a bit different with the shocks taking more of the load.

I had a buddy with a Thunderbird SC (it was kinda fast) and he had wheel hop issues and the air bags did help a little.

2C5s, search cadillacforums.com and you will find the post where someone tried it (you may need to search the regular cts forum since the post may have been before the V forum was split off)

Pretty sure it was back in 2004 and on this forum.
