Pretty straight question.
Just wondering whether people have opinions as to whether once getting celsior supercharged, are airbags still the way to go or get rid of them.
i know it comes down to where i drive it.
Street odd track day(not many) and 1/4mile runs.
99% time on street.

any experiences or opinions appreciated.
cheers

Neill's supercharged UZZ31 still had its air bags last I heard.

On a Celsior, I would stick with them all the more. It seems to me it is always going to be a luxurious tank so at least keep it comfortable for the 99% when you are not shutting them down in the 1/4. If you are hankering that much after handling then you ought to have started with a different car.

You asked for opinions as well as experiences

If you don't do many track days, keep the air bags. I'm in the same situation, I don't do many track days and like to be able lift the car so I can go in to my garage. As far as I know Neil don't have his airbags nowadays.

Leave the bag's until 1 blows, then make your decision :-)
