Well I bagged first. ANd while it looked good at first it started to look like a 4x4 again.

Damn Cavaliers just look high up with no body kit. Even when on air.

I posted pics just over a year ago without the kit. you may be able to find them if you serch back.

i live in chicago, enough said, lol. and my car is daliy driven. so i bagged mine. now my ride, for some reason, is kinda crappy, but at the flip of a switch, i can raise the car, and not hit anything, then with a couple flips of a few other switches, put it back to a comfortable ride, so if your worried about hitting stuff, and have crappy roads, then bag it, but now, its going to be very costly. bags are not cheap, and you have to maintain them. and if it gets cold out by you, like it does here, then you wil have to drain the air tank from water everyday. so be prepared to maintain the system. goodluck on your desicion, if you decide to go with bags, talk to jason from A plus, he gave me a great deal for the kit, and switch box shipped, im sure hell do the same thing for you too. then if not him, talk to joe from modified, hell help ya out!!

so it would be safe to say that living in the northern part of the country (MN), it would be very time consuming to ride with air in the winter?

it might, just allow yourself 20-30 min extra in the winter, that way you can drain the water from the tank, and you wont have to worry about lines freezing up, b/c it they do, your not going to raise or lower your car. trust me, i live in chicago, and my car is my daily driver, so i know whats going to happen in the winter, either drive my wifes car, or buy a beater. but its all worth it in the long run IMO

You dont have to drain your tank every morning. During the cold winter months, keep your car at the same comfortable ride hieght and don't touch the switches. I used my air ride throughout winter here in Canada with the valve freezing once when it was -30 degrees celsius and I decided to drop a few psi from the front driver side strut. It froze open and drained all the air out of the tank as well as the rest of the struts. It took me 1 minutes to thaw the valve using a lighter.

The ride itself will be harsher when you first start driving because the bag is made of rubber which will harden a little when it is freezing outside. Once you get driving, it will loosen up, back to normal.

ok thanks guys. I am really stuck whether to get air or lower it. My car is a daily driver, with harsh minnesota winters and about 2-3 miles of gravel roads every day with 10 miles of highway before that. I just want to make sure what my best option would be, and that I wouldn't run into any snags with one or the other. When you say the rubber freezes, does anyone know about them freezing enough that they crack or leak? Should i save for air so I don't have to worry about the different road heights here, or try it out lowered less than 2 inches?

well first off. if you are going to kit it i say yes. second even if you don't kit it i say yes. i have mine lowered about 2 1/2 inches and yes it looks fine but i also have a kit and scrape every thing. thats why i bout air plus it looks awesome setting on the ground. ive not put my kit on yet but from what i hear everyone that has it loves it. and if you do get i would and everybody else will agree buy easystreet.i hope that helps your decision.
