Ahhh!!!! Airbag!/bags!

[Dpowe907]

So while taking a left turn on one of the beautiful Portland roads off of Hawthorne.... I hit a pot hole the size of Jay Leno's head. This caused a loud pop and blew my airbag. Thank God I was in level 2 because I'm pretty sure it would have taken my bumper as well. I've heard of people making the state pay for their bent or damaged rims, you think I can for my airbag/bags? Also should I replace all the bags at the same time? Any deals running?

Take a look into it with your city road maintenance department or your state transportation department. I know for sure that here in California, Cal Trans our state's road maintenance people pay for your damage if it happens cause of negligence caused by them. Just gotta file a complaint directly to them. Don't ask how I know lol ;-)

Had a friend do this in New Jersey with a pot hole...bent 2 of this 24" rims. However, it took 6 months or so to get it paid. Got over $6000 though.

I did it for my moms car actually. The town mailed me a check for $80 to fix it because she hit a huge pothole that snapped both swap bar end links on her buick lol. Cost me $14.99 at auto zone to fix it myself too

Also do you know of any deals going on for Arnott or anyone who is trying to get rid of their bags?

Might be a long shot, but;

There is a new shop in Cali doing big things in the bag world. Anthony seems to be good friends with the owner. As well as the owner being a sprint blue allroad owner and a member of the forums. I follow him on instagram and his latest post was in regards to a bag replacement kit for the allroad's and directly comparing them to arnott kits (basically bashing the arnott kit vs his custom kit)

Give them a call though, it might be worth it.

Damn, that sucks. I know that area of Hawthorne well but haven't seen that bad of a pot hole. Wow!

I would replace both front bags but if you are tight on money I've heard that you can replace one bag at a time with the Gen 1 Arnott's. I have Gen 1's on the front of mine and they've been great but they were installed before I bought the car so it may be before they had their reliability problems.

If you need any help wrenching let me know. I live in SE Portland.

So I checked them out, pretty cool concept and I respect the engineering in his work. But I can't shell out between 3 and 5000 for a system that's that complex and me have little understanding of how they work.

So I've been calling around on prices for my bags, tossing in the air if I wanna go crazy and replace all and new struts or just do the front bags in Gen I's. If some peeps want to get down on a group by please let me know asap. My AR is my DD so I'll be making a purchase in the next 24hrs. btw does anyone have any 10% off codes or free shipping codes??
