Now that I look at the specs for both bags, I see the Double Play is much taller, which means it has more air capacity. Yeah, that's got to be it. The Double Play is 11" tall and the Firestone is 7". Both compress to about 3". So that 4" of extra stroke means more air and a smoother ride.
Maybe the firestone bags needed a small accumulator next to them to increase air capacity to give it a cushier ride? Just like they do with cylinders.

Looks like youre skilled when comes to metal and fabing. All the guys who flat out said your car is a waist, are fools. 'Takes no skill to bolt on parts that were made for your car (or pay someone for that matter). Just takes a catalogue and a credit card. Your car impresses me.
Hey Kenny, have you considered raising the wheel arches about an inch so that you can drive the car a little lower and still be able to turn the front wheels?
I'm thinking it would be super easy to do up front because all you need to do is cut the plastic. I don't know if it should be done to the rears or not. Something to consider before you paint your car.
