haha thats funny...we're in the middle of baggin one right now. We're actually developing the model UA could be using as there is no kit besides airrunner for these cars...which doesnt allow the car to go low at all. theyre a reallll treat to bag let me tell you haha. spent as much time seeing what will work as we would bagging a normal car haha.

well with Bold World you shouldnt have any issues as it should be the whole strut, just swap em out and run the lines. the hardest part was trying to get the front low. Using the UA aerobags in the front, we've had to try a few different heights which means alot of cutting and welding. espcially since theres about 4 different brackets on the shock body to cut off along the way...and hoping you dont heat it up too much that the shock will blow haha. we started w/ the stock spring perch as the base...which resulted in about 4 inches of wheel gap all the way down haha. its just trial and error thats the pain really! haha
