air bag help for those Minicars guys

the bag is going to offer you NO lateral stability. That lower suspension is going to flop around. try this.

Remove the air strut you have and see what the suspension does. it will act very similar to that.

Its not a truck. if you remove the coil on a truck the suspension is still intact and only moves up or down.

What you are doing is like removing the upper A arm on a truck suspenion, it is going to fall apart. your strut takes place of the upper arm on, say , a truck suspension for example, and it holds your spindle where it should be.

Post a pic of your front set up. Did you use the stock coil spring mount to support the bottom of the bag? If so you can cut the coil mount off and the bag will have the freedom to move all the way down the strut if you want it to.
