Thumbs up Speed INC drag bags are the Sh*t!!!

Put them on last night. Directions are right on target, easy install once you get the car in the air and the wheels off. Put 12 psi in them went out thrashing. With only 12 psi which is really low it not only eliminates 90% of the wheel hop, but makes the car hook better too. Didn't notice any lack of ride quality with 12 psi and the car doesn't really sit any higher. This is a must have for any 6 speed car for sure.

BTW Speed Inc shipped them and they were here like a day later, and they have the lowest prices I've seen.

Air lift is the brand. BMR puts together a kit for our cars! Some have said that its the same kit for the Saturn Vue . . .

Yea, i've read that on LS1GTO right after BMR's kit came out. So basicly it is the same thing but probably a little less expensive?

The kit that we sell (as well as BMR) is not the same as the saturn vue.

C'mon, the guy that prototyped the kit with BMR gave part #'s. It is the same airlift bags as for the Saturn Vue. Also, anyone into road handling should look into getting separate fill valves left and right. Having both bags on a common airline degrades cornering.

Brother bought a set from BMR, I bought a set from http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...561?n=15684181 , dimensions were almost exact. Main difference is my set came with separate valves.

The Speed Inc kit came with seperate valves... but, I don't feel like chasing my tail getting the pressures the same since I'm more of a straight line type of guy. Just ran the t into one line.

Same here. . . but for some reason my bags leak out the air, so I will be changing to a dual valve set up, once I find where I can get another valve!


Gametech: Thanks for bringing up the fact of the guy that did the footwork for BMR over on LS1GTO.com, his work has help many, many GTO owners as well as BMR and other vendors sell a product that works!

Does it matter who makes them or what car they are used on if they work?
