Pic request; air and stock wheels.

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a picture to show the bag to wheel/tire clearance on stock wheels and air-ride. Preferably bags over coils (Aerosports and coils). I'm ASSUMING clearance should be fine since it's recessed in the control arms pretty nicely. I also want to take a gander on the exterior look as well.

I'm used to McPherson suspensions so tire/wheel to bag clearance is a large concern.

Thanks.

Yes, I know. Maybe you forgot the part where I said bags over coils :shrug:

Sorry, I should have clarified; I'm looking for for said picture of a Lexus GS (JZS160).

I didnt forget anything. Next time be clear as to what you're trying to say/want:

coilovers are adjustable.... I can adjust the dampers in my sc to look like its @ stock height...with a fully deflated bag.

or atleast learn the correct terminology? :shrug:

so go get under ur car and measure the OD of the stock coils and compare it to the od of a deflated bag.

and yes, it will look beyond stupid

I don't have the car to measure things; that's why I wanted to see if anyone had a picture for reference, or even measurements off hand.

I never said it'd look good or anything, this is just for research and informational purposes.

I'm looking for the clearance of said bags (aerosports) over coils in relation to the tire/wheel. The ACTUAL bag to the tires/wheels- as in a picture to show the bag over the strut/shock in relation to the wheel/tire or even the control arms. The "what will it look like when laid out on the outside" was just an extra; "Hey, I don't have a picture of that, anyone have it?"

You're making this more difficult than it really is. I just wanted a picture of the bag/strut/shock in relation to the control arms and wheel/tire.
