the eibach drag springs with airbag doesnt say convertible or not. i called and they said it would work without any problems. i run 30 psi in the bag without problems. the kit came with the bag and i used that. i didnt upgrade the bag or nothing. i ran the air tube to fill it up to the rear bumper where the styrofoam is. u cant see the filler unless u look under the car. what the bag does is puts pressure on the passenger side of the car. u sit on the driver side so no bag is needed.

also if passengers ride, when u fill the bag up to 30 it will look very tight like it wants to pop but when passengers get in the car it wont mess up. lol


i picked up about 3 tenths from the springs and shocks alone..i dunno if there was any driver skill added aswell but idk. those springs went on and that was my 6th time ever down a track.

[QUOTE=sxynerd;6149211]

I don't exactly know the purpose of the bag but it looks like it's there to stop the spring from compressing too much, due to it's lighter spring rate.

The airbag keeps the car straight when you launch. If you ever notice most cars when they launch seem to twist the right (if you are looking at the rear) and the driver side front tire comes up first. It loads the passenger rear spring more than the drivers side. The airbag just is supposed to help it not load up and distribute the weight across both springs.
