how do bags ride and perform, are they bouncy at all, and what am i looking at for a cost?
also, will i not beable to do that drop with spring alone, i would need coil-overs, what coil-overs can i get beside ground control, they are kinda pricey

First of all, airbag setups are bouncy yes... and expensive as ****.
Secondly the owner DOES NOT drive that car lowered like that I guarantee it. MY car has a extreme drop, and I still am going to raise mine up some more (I am still experimenting with the ideal ride height for midwestern roads). It just isn't practical to DRIVE with that kind of extreme drop in a camaro.
Also, the ground control kit is +/- 2.5 inches.... PLUS upon installation the Ground Control Kit already lowers the car up to 1 inch. So the lowest I COULD presumably go right now would be a 3.5 inch total drop. Guess what... I dont WANT a 3.5 inch drop.
Our cars just need slight tweaking, a body kit will give you more of the "slammed" / racecar look you might be going for, without sacrificing ride quality.
A Wings West body kit + 1 inch drop = Looks like a 3 inch drop.

I agree too, it's not advisable to drop your car several inches, I'm running about an inch and a half with gfx and the car looks LOW. But is still driveable on alot of roads if your careful, and major roads with no problem really.
Check the pics in the sig. I have a intrax drop, and ground effects. With the weight of the top, and the stereo equipment, it fell almost 3 1/2 inches, NON ADJUSTABLE. I drove it for 1 season. The springs come out this weekend. If you REALLY want to drop it that low, I suggest you find the cabbage and get the airbags. It is just a real pain if you cant get the clearance you need. Adjustable coil overs will work, but airbags will be faster and dont require you to get out of the car. Good luck, I thought I wanted low too. You might change your mind.
Dreamer1Q how does your car ride with the ground effects and a drop. I got got some Enkei Winsomes (17x9.5) and I already have the WW W-type on my car, I was thinking about dropping her an inch to get rid of the wheel well space but I was worried about clearence. I ground out on every as it is already, how bad is it with the drop?
The ride is much harder, and driveways suck. On the highway, even in Michigan, it isnt to bad. No real bottoming out on the E-ways, but backroads and entrances suck bad. Hence the changing of the springs this winter.
