only guy with airbags so far is lowonair but he doesn't come here anymore. n i dont think there is a company that has a specific kit out for our cars but there are a couple of companies that would be able to put together one for you. n i heard we cant use air bags, we have to use either air cylinders/rods or air struts. there are a couple companies here in cali that does airbags. one big company is called 'the hack shack'. another is djmsuspension(something like that). i forgot the others.

but ya basically to do just the front, you could use air cylinders(about 500 for both sides). get a compresser(i heard thomas was alright). get an air tank(they should only be about $50 for a pretty big tank). fast valves(unless if you want your bags to inflate in 10 mins. fast vavles run about 100 a peice). the lines/wires/fittings. they have steel braided lines that cost ALOT. n theres your regular ones. oh n you need a switch/gauge. n that should be it....

bags: $500 for both front right/left
compressor: $300 for an ok one
tank: $50 for a big one
valves: $200 for two
lines/wires/fittings: about $100 depending on size of lines
switch/gauge: $10-100 depending on what kind.

so ya thats about what 1200 if you DIY. if you want all 4 corners it might run about 800-1000 more.

thanx dude, so the air struts do the same thing as airbags?

air bags go inside the spring n replace the shocks. n so do air cylinders/rods
air struts replaces both springs and shocks. i'm not sure if they have one out for our cars yet(i dont think its possible to have a universal one. someone correct me if i'm wrong) cause if you ever seen our suspension, our struts are connected to the tie bar. this one site said they had it for our cars but i forgot the link to it(i think it was in the other air suspension thread). didn't seem like a big company tho so i didn't bother to read about it.

air ride is in development of a kit for our cars. with the right kit, the ride is better than any you'll evr have in a car. not real sure when it'll be done though. i've had one of their kits on other cars, and they are second to none. check www.airride.com, or just go the the products forms, and you can find some info on them. the thread title is airride???? one of air ride's reps explains it all on this thread.

civiconbags, how much did you get everything for? n how much was installation? i heard you cant have bags on the front cause it might get stuck in the springs or something when you turn. n also bags aren't too good cause it's possible for someone to pop them. oh n doesn't lincoln town cars have air suspension(just without compressors/valves/tanks, just the bags themselves)? cause if they do, damn their cars ride nice as f*ck.

I was told that our cars use air rods not bags. I was also told that it is supposed to ride like a cadillac. Why would it ride like sh!!t?

i think the ride quality depends on how its tuned... if theres no air inside the thing i know it rides like sh*t. but ya i've heard lincoln towncars are on bags and those ride nice.
