Question Air Bags

I drive my car in the winter, and knowing that rubber gets britle in cold not to mention other elements that would coat it im sure, would getting airbags be a bad idea, or would our winters not effect them at all... and with airbags, hows handling, accelleration and breaking and such? does it get all sloppy or can they be pretty stiff

Civics don't get bagged, they get air rods as far as I understand.

stiffness will depend on how much air pressure you put in the rods... and unless you get really high quality rods, I imagine they'll rust in the CDN winters, cuz they are meant for fair weather use. The seals also may not hold up. I wouldn't do it if you actually use your car for anything other than shows.
