Rear Air-bags

Air Lift's "Drag Bags" solve the torque vs. traction equalization issue for drag racers! On a rear-wheel-drive car, engine torque creates a twisting effect which presses down on the left rear and right front wheels creating a corresponding lift on the rear rear and left front. Every drag racing fan has seen this body twisting action as a car leaves the line. This lift on the right rear results in it doing less work since there's less weight and consequently it will spin the right rear more than the left. To get maximum possible forward thrust, both tires must be equally loaded. Pre-loading your suspension with a set of drag bags air springs evens up the loads between the two wheels to achieve maximum potential forward thrust.

Anyone ever use air-bags before?

Ive seen them once on a stock LS1 F-Body and all he had was drag radials, and he was pushing some very impressive numbers for bone stock.

And would it be a bad idea for daily driving, and possible auto-cross? Or is it worth it?

air bags are junk for performance. get yourself a good sway bar and forget about it.

i agree with njspeeder, they suck dont buy em. i have a set i wanna unload if you "have to have em" otherwise get some solid or poly suspension bushings and a set of slicks or drag radials for traction
