The best kit would be this one but they havent finished it yet. I've emailed them plenty of times and posted on their forums plenty of times and they said it is finished but should be released for sell sometime this month. So u may want to try them. If u really want a quality kit and u are prepared to spend some money try going to http://airbomber.com or email them at acc@airbomber.com. I've gone to the site but its not working right. They make airstruts for our cars. There from Japan. I've heard some really good stuff about them but they are expensive. If u serious give them a call at 81-790-23-0700. U can also go with canovers witch are cylinders but will give u a very very good ride. They have adjustable dampening and are also made in Japan. Also very expensive. They have kits for our cars u just have to give them a call. Go here for canovers. Or go here They might not be listed but if u call them they will tell u they have them for our cars. They will be in Japan.

If you end up getting the EAI kit, be prepared. It's not a "bolt on" kit. There is welding and cutting involved. They make it sound like it takes a couple of days to install. Yea right!

If I was gonna put airride I would go with airstruts all the way around just for a better ride. Or go with some canovers. I just spoke to a guy here in Houston who his putting some canovers on his 7thgen. Im going back to that shop this weekend. If I see the car still there I'll take pics and see if I can go for a spin in it. When I do put my airride Im gonna use airride technologies airstruts. They have built in adjustable dampening. Hey Joseph u have any more pics of ur car??

I bought all the brackets from brislands along with the cylinders only cuz i wanted backup struts for later use... but looking at the brackets, it looks pretty simple to make... its basically a shortened strut... the only modifications in my part was the shorten the strut a little more to make it lay... other than that you need to bring some parts of your steering down a little to match up the struts and not have it bind while steering... simple... but this goes to show you that you CAN lay with mac struts

Spanky had the mac airs from day one and he never had any problems with them and yes they did lay low. Im thinking of buying his kit since everything is new except the brisland cylinders because 1500 is a good price for a FBSS kit with brislands.

I've got to see the pics of your car CIVICONBAGS. If it does lay in the front, then I'll be switching to the Brislands in the front very soon.

Depends on how high or low you're riding at. If you ride at a medium height, it rides pretty good.
