I have my reasons for wanting to do this. The reasons don't include being able to bounce the car down the boulevard. They're more for simpler reasons, like being able to get into my driveway without destroying an expensive bumper.

Most people run custom kits.I think air ride technologies makes kits for most apps.Weird mod for this platform but if you must Oh dont forget that your evos ride will feel like complete crapola.Every bagged ride Ive been in(3-4 diff cars) felt like a honda civic with blown struts and cut stock springs.Seriously
I guess you can make up for the performance with the cool discharging sound when you engage transformer mode at the stoplights.

They must not have been done right.

Bags are possible on anything. It's just a matter it being practical for your application. Though the "Airbag" thing seems to be linked to a certain race that's not exactly clean or well looked upon.

Granted, you are driving a ricer, which also is not well looked upon.

I think theyre great for show cars(plenty of non-rice bagged vehicles are lingering out there

Clear tails and big wing....I agree,ricey,not desirable to most.As far as not being well looked upon in general.......youre so wrong.Ever been to your local dragstrip? Evos are deff up there with the best.

Anyhow.....Id never bag an evo.Overkill and pointless.More gauges and switches
