Here is the EAI kit on my car back then. I am currently selling the kit for $1000. Let me know if your interested. Also any kit can be adjusted to go as low as you want. It depends on your install and the size of rims you have on the car.

Rep Power: 0 Just let them know your make, model, year. I think the Ontario shop does install but I had mine done somewhere else. I basicly did hte install but had a shop double check it. Easy to do but you will need to weld the back. I used my kit for only 3000 miles. Mostly for show so if you want a complete kit for much cheaper let me know. I am asking for $1000 for the kit so if your really interested let me know.
Thanks for the comments. It was a nice car but I need to depart with it now. I got my eye on a 2005 Subaru Legacy. Already have a Japan Hippo Sleek bodykit, up pipe, down pipe, and turbo back for it. Just need the car now.

Does the kit have airstruts up front and bags in the back? Cause it looks like the front doesnt go as low as the rear. How come?. What mods do i have to make to the fenders? I am definitely interested. PM me on what the kit would all come with? I would also need some one to install it for me, so I would have to find a shop up here that would do it. What year is this kit for and would it work in a 02?

Rep Power: 0 The kit is all bags. The reason why they dont tuck in front is because the wheel well is not deep enough for the tire to tuck. Your wheel well is basicly sitting on the top of the tire. Unless you gut the wheel well or shave it your not gonna tuck in the front, period.
Some cars with very very expensive setups do have a really smooth ride but you will not find that in our civics. Air ride is comfortable as long as your not speeding, if your a speeder or drive very agressivly, air ride is not for you, and very uncomfortable. Air ride I would say is basicly good for show purpose only. I would never use as a daily driver after having them and experencing them, only because i drive agressivly and tend to speed from here to there.

Rep Power: 285 Mine has air struts all the way around and it rides pretty well. If I put the factory tires back on it rides a lot better. The low pro's really don't absorb anything.

Rep Power: 0 The bag fits over your stock strut, is basicly you have an air strut. However you will need to cut a bit of the platform that holds your spring for your valve to sit properly. EAI does not make an air strut setup for our car.

Rep Power: 0 You need to not only widen the fender but also cut under on the top, through to the engine bay if you wanna tuck like the back as well. If you do this you better not drive the car too much. You goning to have a very dirty engine bay and will always see your tire when you open you hood. Try to look up those small trucks as shows they usually have setups like this. This site usually has lots of nice trucks with air ride setups. You might find some in here. So Cal Customs
