air bag with lowering springs? Ok i am either gonna lower my car with a prokit or hotchkis springs. I already have an adjustable pan arm bar, and lca's, i am gonna get lca relocation brackets and install those when i install the springs. my question is should i go ahead and get an air bag for the right rear? right now my car is just bolt ons, but i plan on getting a cam and headwork done as well as nitrous.

Re: air bag with lowering springs? It doesn't really matter whether you do it now or later. The airbag install is pretty simple. It's even easier with lowering springs 'cause when the rear's in the air you can press the springs out by hand.
'IF' you've got the cash, it wouldn't be bad to buy the dual bag set as it's not THAT much more. You can find for about $60-65. You can install both with separate lines and just pump the right one up at the track. I say two because I had some problems with bottoming out when I lowered mine but all is cured now.
You are supposed to run a minimum of 5lbs in them so they don't deform or get pinched and cause a leak but other than that it's straight forward. Just watch where you run the lines so they don't rub against a sharp edge.
