new airride an the right bag looked like this after 3 hours of drving. anybody seen somthing like this before and why could it happen ?
In his best arnold voice " Its not a tumor" But yeah its a defective bag, you got lucky that it hasn't blown yet. But for ****s and giggles make sure that the bag isnt touching anything, both infated and deflated
Depending on the brand, they will refund you, my slam specialties did it and they gave a me full refund, I had to run a back up bag in the mean time but its always good to carry a spare like you would with a tire..
If that is a slam specialties bag they are having a problem with them doing that. When I did my car a month ago I went to my local supplier and was planning on running them and they talked me out of it for that reason. They told me out of there last few orders of them they would have to send about half of them back so I ended up using the firestones on mine.
yes these are slam specialties bags and i can use no others because i need bags they dont baloon . Either the way this one does it or a other way. god damn i so angry because i liked to go to a meeting next weekend
wow i have old firestones from like 1997 that still work for me i was planning on getting new slam specialties its probably just a bad batch it it true you can ride on the completely deflated ( if ch***is is not s****ing )
Ya the firestones ballon big time so you have to have alot of clearance for them. Good luck I hope you can get lucky and get some that don't keep messing up on you. I think slam changed there material that they are using because the new ones don't even feel like the old bags. Have you looked into the airlift bags I don't know if they expand or not just a thought.
You should keep it. If it is reproducing; sell the offspring. Dont drive it like that or you could end up flat bedding her home! I would order an extra bag just to have laying around if something like that would happen again- warranty should cover that (I would hope)
the cool thing is so far the service from suicidedoors and slam is real great . I was writing them a "angry" mail at sunday evening and get a bill at no charge the next day . They even cover the expensiv ups express to switzerland. So far thats the good news. I heard only good thongs about slam spec.
hey if thats a re6 i got two of those ill sell ya real cheap as backups, they are brand new and never mounted and no bubblegum probs with these they are from about a year and a half ago......ao they should be from a good batch...........shoot me a pm if you want em
What a bummer, I had Air Ride Spec. on my car and they were fab. It seems that the slam spec. guy got a bad run of material, tough break for all involved, they will make it right they are upstanding business folks. Good Luck ~Sololobo~
