would ad such a fun element to a slow car. completely illegal. but what isn't these days. fairly cheap option as far as i can tell too.

yeah it would be pretty sweet to hit the pavement in a mk1. after seeing what dom has paid for a good airbag setup, to see what these are worth, u would only guess they are cheap and nasty though!

Yes been thinking that since i got my mk1, that oldskool kit is pretty cool, be interesting to see what they come up with for the rear.

plenty of cheap options out there, just don't expect race car handling or massive lift.

These actually look like a decent bit of kit. don't expect it to be that cheap though.

You need a coilover body (or maybe shortened shock) to mount the bag body onto.

Including the price of the struts, these aren't nessecarily a 'bargain' as it were.

I'd be happy buying from him though (if I was in the market for some bags) cause he's got great customer service & seems to be very switched on, and very committed to his products.

They would nessecarily be illegal, you could probably get a set up including these bags engineered for about as much as it would be with any other.

I would buy a generic kits from a local distributor, but less bags, buy the bags from him (and then struts aswell, or buy complete struts from bagyard or masontech) and then go from there.

Either way, expect it to set you back about 4-5grand, doing it yourself too.

also can't wait to see what he comes up with for the rear.

you can do it for a lot less than 4-5grand, Bagyard and mashtech stuff is probably the most expensive, bags over struts are relatively cheap if you got stuff laying around just won't let you go as low straight out of the box.
