OK OK OK... I know i have had on my sig that my car is bagged, and some of u have had 2nd thoughts about it.. But i have finally had some time to put a little thread together WITH PICS. For those of you who are skeptical about my car, I have had it bagged since the beginning of April. I do believe I am THE FIRST Gen 7 Malibu bagged from all the research i've done! lol.. but enough talking and time for the pics..
I do have to give the credit to one of my good friends George for coin pretty much all the work on my car.. he himself is in the bagged truck seen in houston.. if u guys like check out his work and his lil toys too!!! not tryna promote or solicit but here is his page www.thesetup.biz

there she is started out getting her plastic surgery cuz u kno that what the Gold Diggin Females want these days.. (not saying all women... just the GOLD DIGGERS)

This was the first general idea of where things were gunna be!

The bags before they were put to work.

Strut Bags for the fronts! some fab work needed!!

Not to familiar with bagged setups. How do you account for excessive camber when the system is lowered farther than the stock ride height, to stop the bad tire wear? I would guess a camber kit wont work because the ride height varies.

Very good question, and yes it does vary

I used to have a 98 malibu with air suspension and what I did was found a psi setting I liked and then had the wheel alignment done with the car at that setting. So as long as the car was at that psi the alignment was good. I'm sure he has done the same

and thats a great idea.. especially for bagged cars.. when truck that are bagged have certain suspension tricks for that as car dont as much cuz its not a very common thing for bagged cars and camber prevention..

as for me... Houston roads are really nasty.. so the only time i ride low is on highway or on any area thats semi flat.. or even in parking lots of car meets or just residential areas too.. im not finished with my car.. and plan to do alot more.. im just saving lol..

You're in Indiana? You're probably gonna pass right through Louisville on your way home, unless you flew. Make sure you honk, and when I hear it, I'll wave.

That is clean man. Other than the 'Smokey and the Bandit' accents and blacked tail lights, that car is amazing.

Its Mini truck inspired car so, its supposed to look clean with a few other little things here and there.... when I get pics of the car with my billets, I will post up a few more.... this car is still far from done lol
