Should I get an airbag for rear?

I have seen airbags for around 40$. It seems fairly cheap and might be a cool mod to have. Should I get one? ls1, 6speed, boltons, suspension modded.

Do i need anything else besides the airbag or is a kit say from thunderracing complete enough?

What will i notice with it and is it worth it?

What are you hoping to achieve with the airbag? Do you have evidence of squat at the right rear corner, or lifting the left front wheel? Traction problems? Car not launching straight?

I am hoping for better traction. My car is all over the place when i launch.
Was just wondering if this helps at all.

Most of the suspension is done, lcas, phb, springs, shocks, swaybars etc. I have 275 street tires, these will be upgraded in the near future to drag radials.

Re: Should I get an airbag for rear?

I ran the Airlift 1000 bag in the right rear, and never had a traction problem. How much it helped I don't know, because I installed it at the same time as a bunch of other changes. The alternative would be a "race style" rear sway bar, like the ones from Wolfe or Spohn. But those can become an issue if you like to street drive your car and take corners fast.
