How much pressure are you guys running in your bags? What is a good starting point because this might be depending on the car I guess?

just curious...are you running them with rear trick springs by any chance? just doing some research.

I am running them with stock springs and junk stock style shocks. I have no issues hooking up, i just bought these to help with some of the twist.

throw 20lbs in the right rear..or air it up till the car starts to raise a fuzz and no more.

It will help with the twist. I used them on my car cause the passenger side spring was sagging. I put about 18 lbs on the passenger side and about 8lbs in the other bag just fill it up. I also used CE 3 way adjustable shocks. The bags helped alot but you may want to look into getting springs cause the bags are just a band aid and you need to keep an eye on the air pressure.

WOW. You guys are running these things pretty stiff. I tried mine that high once and the car wouldn't hardly squat into the launch and was all over the place.

My suggestion for a starting point: 7.5 lbs DS / 12.0 lbs PS then test, check psi, test, check psi, etc.

Above is using CE 3-ways and stock (new) springs w/ 13.5 lbs in the MT Drag Radials.

Best for my set-up anyway.
