I hear the critters howling in the distance for me to do it but my finances say no can do. If I am ever to drop my car it will have to be bagged.

in response to travs comment on blowing bags. I've been around and driven bagged trucks and cars for about 6 years. I know guys that daily drove their trucks for 4+ years and never had a problem. I'm talking guys who really beat their shit up. Generally you don't blow bags unless its rubbing on something and it tears. You blow hoses or fittings because of backpressure. If you understand the physics of it and take care of your equipment then this won't happen. Just wanted to throw that out there for the people who were kinda interested but scared of reliability issues

nothing is bolt on buddy...and sorry by easy street i mean the auto pilot controller,
what you can do is run aerosport coilover bag for front and buy either bag yard or masontech rear bag, because they come with brackets for mk4 VW already and it fits GD3 !!!!

generally, sleeve bags are very easy to blow if you don't take care of them properly, by that means, when you jack up the car, make sure the bag is disconnected from the swing arm other wise the weight of the swing arm and wheel will pull the bags apart

when i refer to a bag i refer to a bellowed bag. I would NEVER use a sleeve bag for the purposes you are speaking. I install sleeved bags from time to time but for helper bags for big trucks. That retain a minimum pressure of 5-10 lbs and maximum or about 40. And only when it has a load. I'm not suprised that the sleeve bag you pictured came apart. I hate the sleeve bags because i fear the safety and longevity of something that when u take the air out just folds all up on itself.

So if that was your bag i suggest you change out to a bag like this one. And anyone thinking of getting bags i suggest a bag like this one in the back.
