Default air bag in RR spring...WORKS!

Ok so last night I went to the track with my STOCK panhard bar, STOCK sway bar, and an airbag in the RR spring. I have the MADMAN arm (this arm is hands down the best arm that Ive ever seen and if you can figure out how to set it up it works AWSOME) and BMR solid lower control arms. I do NOT have the relocation brackets in the car. The weekend before the car went 1.44 60 foot and the launch was ugly, rolled over HARD on the launch. Did the RR air bag and the 60 foot dropped to 1.34 ! I will have a video of the launch soon....the car made more power this weekend (another brand of plug, little more n20, little more timing, slight HAL adjustments, changes to trans brake setup....), and it hooked just fine without the massive amount of body roll I had before. The car has 28x10 Hoosier drags on it.

I'll have a launch vid up soon and will be putting a real drag sway bar in it real soon, but for now the air bag has helped a ton and its the best 39 bucks Ive spent on this car!

Great improvement. What air pressure did you run in the bag?

The airbags do work.

I had 20 psi in mine and when I did the burnout, and the whole car slid sideways. Took the air out and it stayed straight....
