Eh Im not a fan of chrome rims on a Camry but it isn't too bad. And airbags will be nice. I would love to see what it looks like slammed with those chrome wheels tucked into the fenders. Lose the pinstripe IMO. Get that Camry low!!!

Yeah that thing is begging for a drop. Airbags should be sweet. For some reason I just love 'em. I guess it's because I was into mini trucks before I was into cars.

air struts/shocks that allow ride height adjustability i believe...

thanks guys, yeah the pinstripes are coming off when I paint it, it will be basicly the same color wiht a nice house of colors candy overlay. Nothing wild just clean and subtle.

yeah the bags should do it right...oh and "spark it or park it"...I had to say it with an air ride

Giant81 · 03-03-2005, 11:33 AM

will the airbags make it ride stiffer or softer? how do airbages handle?

Wow... you look like you're 12...

Well that depends, better than hydraulics but cornering....forget it. The ride is soft but there is massive body roll. Air makes for an interesting spring rate. It is progressive meaning that it is easy to make it compress a little but gets harder and harder to compress the farther you go. The rate it self is a square of a specific value related to altitude and bag design. Tein coilovers are the best compromise between handling and slamming it to the ground IMO. Cheaper than a bag setup ($1300) and fully adjustable damping rates, preload, and height. Conerweighting can be adjusted as well to evenly dist weight.
