Yes, it would look sick. I have seen a 2012 Optima SX on bags. Love it.

Thank you for your opinion SLEEPS ,

I've send an email for both air lift company and air rex , and they both replayed and said they don't make products for Kia Cerato ( forte )

Yeah, you are NOT going to find a kit. It's difficult enough to find common products for our uncommon car. Going to have to smash something together yourself.

that's what I found out too , There is no air suspension made specially for Forte .. smashing something together won't be that good specially dealing with car's suspension ..

I hope I can find one for my car , Thank you

i would love to see this. those against bags probably live in areas with perfect roads so being slammed is easy, but being from new york(horrrrrrible roads) i'd love to see a bag setup on our cars. good luck with your search.

in our country , Our roads also not that good , but buying an air suspension from a well known company ( which gives you a lifetime warranty ) you will worry less ..

Since I've asked two of the biggest companies in making air suspension ( Airlift & arirex ) and they gave me a negative answer , seems like I should look for good coil overs

custom kit. If you took the time to piece it all together, it would be boss. Ive heard mutliple times "your car woiuld be sick on bags", but i dont have money for that haha. PLEASE DO IT, and do a full DIY write up, hopefully this will encourage people to bag their forte

see , Customizing a kit will cost me more then 3000$ + it will be hard for me to find spare parts for it ... I posted this thread to see if some one tried it before .. Thank you for encouraging forte owners to bag their cars

FBS-Kia-Forte-2010 kia forte 2010-2011 Struts Front, Struts Rear Air Suspension Kit - Before you buy, read the Knowledge Base under RESOURCES on Left. Everyone wonders why our kits cost so much less than Ridetechs, or AirLift. It is because we manufa that is the only company that i've seen make a kit. i've read some reviews on them most of them not so good so it would be kind of a gamble to me. i to want to really get airbags cause cali roads really do suck and it would be nice to lift it up a bit when driving to work instead of being slammed all the time.
