if not installed properly, they can bend the frame, or if they're lopsided, they can mess with suspension components, possible air leaks, etc.

ANd the fu*ers hurt if your hand happens to be at the 10 o'**** position and the bag comes out slams ur hand into the pillar and gives you a nice litle bag rash on ur face.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

we talking about airbags or bags to drop/raise your car? (my assumption was the latter half).

Can't airbags move from side to side and up and down?

i thought they only went up and down cuz i can't picture them going side to side..

just thought they created smoother rides and can also be used for show.

Oh ok...I just wanted to know why they're soo bad for your ride...everybody says it ****s up your frame.

they can. in my tech class we used some airbags to try and do some work on the gto on the frame machine, and when we let it down, you could see where the bags put a dent in the frame under the car. they are very strong and if used incorrectly or if they **** up, they can and wiill cause alot of damage.

So definetly not some thing to get if you just want to lower your ride, right?

it depends. if you want it for show car, then go with either hyrdos or bag it. if it's a dd, then probly a lowering kit.

but if you have the money go with hydros. (tho there's chance of those ****in up too but they can't damage as much as bags potentially can imo).
