Aggressive Wheels & Stretched Tires: Post 'Em Up! [[Some NSFW]]
Lets price this out as cheap as possible...
UAS Bags, $600
Valves $350
Tank $100
Switch $100
Single Viar 480 $400
Poly lines $40
cheap single gauge $40
Total $1630.00 +tax
Stance coils, $1100....
When in reality a decent set up would consist of Dakota Digital, Dual 480s an accuair valve block and new shocks and struts. which would put you in around the $2500 mark. And then you have your install....
Sorry haven't been in the thread a while. Just didn't like hearing someone say you can bag a car for $1000 when that's complete bullshit.

$1000 Bag Setup
Viair 480c Comresso x2 and a 5 gallon tank - $500
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Viair-480C-C...bd173b&vxp=mtr
8 pack of 1/2" valves - $180
http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Valve-Pack...59d5bb&vxp=mtr
Rear bags - $70 each
http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=427&page=1
Front strut bags - $190 each
http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=476&page=1
Cups for mounting the rear bags - $70
http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...&cat=35&page=1
7 switch box - $90
http://www.avsontheweb.com/home.php?cat=116
All the other misc stuff like tubing can be picked up for as cheap as $0.30 per foot. You can get the PTC connectors off eBay for a dollar or two each.
It's not really that hard to get a quality bag setup for around $1000. It's all about shopping around and not buying a cookie cutter kit. Yes the kit is going to have everything you need but you are also paying extra for the convenience of having everything all at once.
A quality coil setup is going to be significantly more than a bag setup. It's hard for me to drop a bunch of money all at once on a set of coils anyways so it works well for me to be able to buy a little here and there for the bags. And once everything is in, it'll be installed by ME over a couple of days. Once I get to that point, I will be sure to post up a "build" thread for it.

^ I don't follow your logic lol. Sounds like you're fishing for a defense. All installing a kit involves is running some wires to the valves, running some tubing for the valves, installing the bags, hooking up the switch box, gauges and compressor. I have no idea what you're talking about calibrating lol
From the sounds of it, you take your car to a shop to have everything installed for you instead of getting your hands dirty and doing it yourself. I
I appreciate my stuff more if I do it myself and for those that buy stuff and take it to a shop to be installed, I still somewhat consider that BOUGHT and not BUILT regardless of if you bought the parts.
Enlighten me on what has to be calibrated? Are you talking about an auto levelling kit? That's the only thing I can think of.
Be a man! Turn a wrench for once in your life! I can't hold your hand through life bro!!!
Again, a quality bag setup can be bought without spending more than a quality set of coils.
Bags are more fitting for me as I can't drop $1500 all at once. I have a house and a car, among other bills, to pay. Dropping a little here and there doesn't hurt the bank! That's right, I said I have to pay for a house, meaning I don't leave in my granny's basement.
