Maybe you should list what companys you found that make them... that way people wont list the same companys that you already know about...

I have been reading about the possibility of having coilovers AND bags on a car. The use of it is that when fully deflated you still have the quaility ride of coilovers, but it the bags you have the ability to raise the car when needed (i.e driveways and speedbumps). Is anyone familiar with it?

If not, isnt there bag systems where you run Aftermarket shocks (i.e KYB AGX) and air springs so it has the ability to dampen the shocks, but slam it as any other bagged system? By having aftermarket shocks rather then air shocks you can have a better ride quality....?

A debate on this subject:

if you read on their conversation, there is such HYBRIDS of Coilovers and Bags....

Yeah ride quality def. isn't the greatest with bags, however for me personally it isn't that bad. As long as I am not raised 100% up on the bags then the ride quality isn't bad.

Another thing to consider - air compressor/pump is going to be loud. I keep mine off via a toggle switch, but when its on it is pretty loud.

a strut is less comfortable than a bag. i dont think they make a bag kit for a galant. if they did i might vip my galant

Ganna go through with it? Make sure you get a compressor strong enough for what you want to do, and I would recomend an oiler for the lines..

there's a reputable shop located near baytown where str8304 got his. Have you tried shops where they specialize in truck suspension? (there are dozens of those shop around town)

Carboys specialize in standard suspension setup. If they were into air rides I'd see a lot of them comming out of that shop. But to make sure just visit them at www.carboyracing.com

actually they make two air ride kits for the galant. one from www.airliftcompany.com and one from www.ridetech.com the one from Air Ride Technologies enabling you to retain your alignment and adjust the car accordingly to keep it even and lowered right

well i have the easystreet kit and i love it, it is a Strut kit, and just FYI there is only Strut kits and Cylinder kits for cars unless cusotm fabricated to ride on just bags, the strut kit is built with a bag on a replacement strut . but either way you go it is going to be a diffrent ride .... post pics of it when it is done .. love to see galants on air!
