I once thought this too.

Hybrid Bags IMO are more convenient and ride better than coil overs (except for on hard fast turns, this is where I miss my KWv3s) There is slightly more body roll, but the front /rear sway bar and chassis brace help out alot to balance this out

With the combination of a coilover and bag, I am able to drive at the same height aswell as lower than my old height with less rub than my coilovers had. There is also the benefit of having dampening to fine tune your driving expereince. Speed bumps and driveways are no longer an issue for me as all I have to do is press a button on my touch pad and the car automatically raises.

The suspension I am running is not your ordinary UAS system that bolts onto a coilover,. SonicMS did alot of custom fabrication ex cutting, welding, creating custom brackets, in order to create this hybrid bag system.

As of right now my suspension is a 1 off.

Id also like to thank my Sponsors of this build for making my build possible right before Wekfest SF, Function Form and Accu Air.

Here is a sneak peak of how the setup looks like.

Id do 225/35/19 front and 245/35/19 rear. Youll need to relocate front fender tab and use a heat gun to remold the front fender liners. As for the rear all youll need is a slight roll.
