will it also raise it up if you have to pull in a driveway or something with a dip or go over a speed bump so you wont scratch the bottom of you car to hell

With either kit driving height will be about 2" lower than stock and then an additional 2" when fully deflated. With the bags fully inflated it will be about an inch or two higher than stock.

MUSTANG the kit you are talking about is the Cool Ride kit. It is a conventional bag and bracket kit that bolts in place of the coil spring. The OEM strut is used. With the AirStrut the bag is wrapped around a QA1 adjustable strut. Nothing will go back in place of the OEM coil spring. Both kits work great, the AirStrut is designed for more of a performance handling since it has the QA1 strut.

Thanks alot Mustang and darren, i will definatly be getting me some cool ride bags, but I do have one more question....the rims i have are 18x9 and they stick out about 25mm from the car...what can i do, the bags will drop onto the tire if they are like this, how canb i make t hem go in more without buying new rims, the back is fine its just the front wheel that has an offset of 25mm and sticks out from the fender
