Installing Airbag in Rear spring?

I just purchased an airbag to install in my right rear spring and I was just wondering if anyone has any links to installation instructions on one. Or if anyone on here has any tips please feel free to tell me.

Thanks

If no one can give you an answer here, you might try the drag racing forum

I put mine in last fall.

Took about 1 hr.

Disconnect the lower shock mount.

Raise the car in the air until all the weight is off the spring.

Squeeze all the air out of the airbag so its flat enough to fit between one of the coils.

Place the airbag base plate at the bottom of the coil and insert the airbag through one of the coils with the nib pointing down.

Make sure you plug the nib before instering it to make sure it doesn't inflate on you.

After the airbag is inside the coil, unplug the nib, run your line, lower the car and connect the shock.

Sorry guys I should have put this one in the drag racing forum. I didn't even think about that last night. But I just knew that this forum is the one with the most traffic.

But thanks alot for the info Gripenfelter...

hey Grip, did you notice a decent difference doing this? I know this is a popular upgrade for the Buick GN guys, some of which are running really nice 60' times with nothing more than a bag in both springs...
