I had a question about it, i live on long island and winter is pretty bad, will the bags be good in the shitty snow and ice weather? and what are some good bags? i found some on ecs for about 1500 but not to sure if there good or not. thanks in advance for your help!

Bro i'm on statenisland & we got killed with snow this year.this was my first year on bags & the only problem i had was frozen valves but after about 2-3 mins i was good to go,i could've prevented the frozen valves with antifreeze but i was lazy....i'm on coilovers & uas bags which i love as far as other bags i heard good things about bagyard.

I'm on Long Island and have had airride on my car for over a year now. Drove it all winter, no problems related to the cold weather. You just need to run airbrake antifreeze in your tank and lines to ensure you don't get any water freezing up in them. I would steer clear of that ECS kit as it's super basic and you can piece together a kit with quality components for a similar price.

What do you drive? I have friends who do airride installs and have had my hand in a few as well

Just look at all the big rigs cruising the highways all winter long. They're all on air. You should be fine.

Yeah we could definitely do that. Just one suggestion, don't get the Airlift rear bags because they're incredibly difficult to install with a lot of cutting and notching involved, namely the upper and lower spring cups so once you use those bags, far as I can tell, you can't go back to a normal spring or coilover setup
