    Is it worth it? Depends if you think it is... You will always have the haters hating, a few that love it and a heap that can't understand why..!

    IMO its not really worth it, because IMO if somethings on bags it should be laying, not an inch or two off pinch.
    But, thats only my opinion. (based on the price of a new kit)

    If you lower your car on SSSL/Ultra lows (whatever they're called) drivability goes out the window anyway - its a rough as guts over the bumpy stuff, so it couldn't be much worse than bags
    Set up right, bags can be a comfortable ride, I wouldn't fit them to a race car, but for day to day driving they can do the job.

    Legally on the other hand, completely useless. Lowest point of the car, aired out, still has to be 100mm off the ground. So, aired out, you'd be no better off than a loww static. If you're not running bump stops then obviously you'll get lower, but its only a matter of time before you get a pretty yellow sticker.

    If you do do it, post pics and lotss of em

    Looked at it a few times myself but i honestly dont think its worth it. I have seen quite a few people fit them then end up pulling them out & selling them on as its just not all it cracked up to be. Good for show no good for go

    I've got bags in the rear of mine. Basically because my driveway is a prick to get down and FE2 scraped going in and out. So to lower the car, i chucked bags in the back and SSL equiv in the front.

    Oh yeah, and dont bother if you dont like buying new tyres for the rear regularly. That's with asmuch camber adjustment as possible.
