airbags filled with nitrous<p>basically its a waste of money unless you want a more 'pshhfff' sound. nitrous just gives you a better more dense sound and bragging rights. not worth the money just go with good ol' natural air. cause when nitrous leaks its gonna suck.

nitrobags are made to raise or lower your car at the flip of a switch or press of a button. i have seen these on trucks and some other cars and was just wondering if anyone has done it. i really dont care for your flames or your opinions

"Nitrobags are made to raise or lower your car at the flip of a switch or press of a button."<p>So they work just like airbag suspension. Only they cost three times as much and come with a big blue NOS sticker you can put on your window.<p>Airbags are proven, they can outlast regular suspensions if you're good to them, and they're cheap with probably a dozen brand name distributors. You'll be happier with airbags than "nitrobags", which I've never heard of.

This site should be changed to "let's flame our fellow mxers.com" He asked if anyone has done it before and if he should even attempt it. I say if you have the extra cash, go for it. If you want to lift your mx-3 and put 20's on it, go for it. Be unique. Or you could always be original and put 17's, a spoiler, and drop your car...oh wait...uhh....thats not exactly original now is it? If i had the extra money i would definitely do something different, like lambo doors or something never see on an mx-3 yet....and i think YOU should do something different too.

No, it's not a matter of opinion. This is a fact. Rubber bags WILL deteriorate faster than wound STEEL. Whether you like airbags or not does NOT come into the equation.

you know, i'm relativaly new to this site. and you know sometimes i wonder why i come here. so far i've had good luck with people not "flaming" me or ripping on my opinions. but from what i read of others, i think my mind has changed. look at you people Ty just wanted to know a yes or no answer and you come with these novel worthy answers on why its a gay idea, let me tell you a little about my self, i come from a family that never once supported me and always told me that my hobbies or ideas where gay, not good, waste of time. you get the idea. NOW what i think nitrobags would be phat as all hell, do it Ty i hope it works twice as good as regualer air bags so all your other haters out there and go "flame" yourself. and by the way the NOS sticker adds atleaste 50 horse power, and to think thats the sticker alone! so go ahead and "flame" me or rippin on me, kick me off this site for all i care, but please use the rule learned in kindergarden.

we tried explaining it was a waste of money, also being a stupid idea so he shouldn't attempt it, and then he flames us for telling him the truth.. which defeated the purpose of asking the question in the first place.

marshmellow the fact that some people don't have to worry about the amount of cash it is but more about how it will work comes into play. You say airbags because they are cheap. i say nitro 'bags' because they are safe. yes they do cost more but they are more dependable and safer then airbags, therefore they will go on my car whether you like it or not. <p>nobody complained when you came in here talking about your bull****
