I Had A bagged S-10 Extreme. I have lots of pics of the install if you would like to see soom. Just to let you know, look forward to having a lot of time and money in it after the install. I had to replace the front and rear shock 4-5 times a year. Let me know if you want some pics.

F Bodies are easier than S10's to bag. Air struts in the front and airbags to replace coils in the back. Should be a remove and replace deal pretty much. I dont' know how handling is on air vs springs. It does look pretty nice when laid out from a few pics I have seen. Wouldn't do it on my car unless I had a 3rd or 4th FBody to play with.

The only reason an F-body needs airbags is on the right rear to launch the car.

I kinda like the way his F-Body looks when its on the ground, but the fact that nearly 60% of the other people who like his car want to see him get Lambo doors really lets you know what crowd loves the Airbags. I say just drop the car and be done with it.

airbags are good for the autocross, gives you on the fly adjustments to firmness, or softening it up, airbag technology did a show trying to get the old thoughts about airbags, being for show, but in reality they do work!!! i'd want to airbag mine when money was not a problem, be nice to have it at a normal ride hit, not hittin all the deep curbs or anything, then dropping it down to park, definatlly not rice or anything that people may think... any one ever seen Chuck Schroedl's 65 impala? it was fetured on summitracing catolog a while back, very kick ***
