I am thinking that the Arnott Gen 2.5 bags spring rate is softer than the Gen 2s.

Now that I have had time to let the new bags adjust after swapping them out due to leaks, I am finding that the tires are rubbing the fender liner during dips and sometimes in hard turns. It never did this before one the Gen 2 bags. Hmmmmm..... not cool.

- shit, I am about to get into the same issue as my front left red bag started leaking this past - julex 2014-04-22 09:33:39 (220 views)
  - That sucks. I kinda wish they would just rebuild the old ones - Nogaro Nitwit 2014-04-22 10:10:35 (203 views)
    - I hear you. Even better if somebody made a hybrid bag (one can dream). - julex 2014-04-22 10:17:37 (255 views)
      - Bumpspring.com makes 1000-1500 ft/lb springs that will fit inside the air spring. about $120 /pr   -  DurfAR  2014-04-22 10:30:05 (208 views)
        
        very interesting. I just looked at their page. Trying to find info on cost   -  Nogaro Nitwit  2014-04-22 10:42:34 (212 views)
        
        here you go, I wasnt willing to spend the $129 to test fit initially, but knowing the red ones fit   -  DurfAR  2014-04-22 10:45:12 (213 views)
        
        Thanks. Found the price here, too. Seem cheaper, too   -  Nogaro Nitwit  2014-04-22 10:47:16 (242 views)
        
        Damn you, at $129,I could avoid trying them at $89 it seems like I should have done them first  -  DurfAR  2014-04-22 10:52:05 (229 views)
        
        Good question. 1500 lbs does sound high. I would try 1000 lbs  -  Nogaro Nitwit  2014-04-22 10:54:13 (192 views)
        
        I know that the red ones are 2" tall and 1.75 od and they fit fine, so I am guessing that should fit   -  DurfAR  2014-04-22 11:08:53 (207 views)
        
        I could do that but if the bump stop goes through and essentially is gently pressed in spring seat  -  julex  2014-04-22 14:41:34 (187 views)
- Hmm did you swap out bump stops. I heard that "blue integra" bumps work very well - DurfAR 2014-04-21 09:13:26 (247 views)
  - I bought the red prelude ones you posted about. I just did not swap them out - Nogaro Nitwit 2014-04-21 09:34:12 (224 views)
