Has anyone tried maXpeedingrods air bags??

So I think it's time to change out my rear air bags. 130k with the original OEM bags isn't that bad!

I came across the maXpeedingrods set for $115 on amazon and just am wondering if anyone has tried them out??

Thanks for your input

The price want down to $85 for the pair.... I couldn't resist!

I will give everyone a review after I install and put some miles on them.

Well you got 130k miles out of the originals seems like a good case to go back with the same.

**** UPDATE ****

They lasted about 5 minutes after inflation. and then BOOOOM! They internally self destructed and there were loose parts bouncing around on the inside after I swapped back the original ones. I won't bore you guys with the details when I contacted them concerning my problem, but I did get a refund. But I would just like to tell everyone NOT to go this route. The bags they sent me were the right shape / size but it was kind of weird they didn't even have part numbers on them.... and what I thought was even more funny about the whole situation was the manufacture didn't even have a phone number to contact. Just a skype number that no ones answers or returns phone calls from!

So guys... Be warned!!!

Hope I end up saving someone in the future from a huge waste of time and $$$

Thanks for the offer, but I just put my OEM ones back in and called it a wash. They still work fine and don't leak too much ( noticeable drop after 3 or 4 days of sitting ). I just figured at $80 for a set, I would try it out and like I said.. HUGE waste of time and $$$. At least it game me an excuse to pull out DIS and re-setup my ride height a few more times! lol

+10mm in the front and +20mm in the rear seems to be my sweet spot between having the ultimate tire shredding experience and looking cool on the streets...
