Rear Air Bags

BMR markets a re-badged airlift kit. For $100-$120, it is hard to beat the results. I am probably going to ditch mine soon for a full adjustable suspension, but the airbags kick *** in the bang for the buck category. However, if you plan to spend big dollars on the suspension, go ahead and skip that stepping stone.

Drag bags are a great bargain; i almost bought some.
Heard about the drag springs and will put the money into them instead.
One ? how much does the rear get raised putting the springs in.
Sorry about the thread hijack.

5/16th of an inch...just over a quarter inch. This is mine with a 275-35-18 tire and the drag springs. The fender gap is identical front and back. 2 fingers. Most GTOs are sagged way the hell out, my stock springs made it look like I had a dead hooker in the trunk.

i run the airlift 60727 bags. much cheaper and basically the same bag as the bmr. i did a really clean install, so it took me a lil while. most guys cut down their bumpstops, but i just drilled through mine and countersunk the nipple. stay away from some of airlifts models b/c some have the airlines exiting out the side of the springs, and they have a tendancy to tear that style nipple off the bag.

ive been running BMR's drag bags for quite some time...i origionally purchased them so i could run 11.5" slicks for the track. they really helped me out bigtime at the track, i get NO wheelhop (though its probably a combination of the Bags and the solid Diff mount the harrop diff cover comes with, and the slicks themselves)

^^^ I agree ^^^
I have the same set-up as Ex Turbo for the most part. I have been in the 1.7x's for 60's consistant and PB of 1.64, with bags and slicks!!
In the furture I will probably run the Pedders Drag Springs and bags for insurance. I have seen two local guys with springs and other Pedders parts at the track both wheel hopping badly... but driving and tires help too! Last I knew they were both swapping to better tires, so we'll see what happens next time I catch up with them!
