i dont think your gonna have much luck finding an air bag suspension. The nature of the car is not really fit for that kind of set-up.

On Nissan's movie "The Run" the Z had an air suspension system due to the extra weight of the cameras. On an everyday situation I think the air bag suspension would hurt rather than increase handling, but hey, what do I know...

the air bag suspension would definitely hurt handling in the car, but it would be sweet dropping it to the ground when you get out of your car! id leave air bags for a truck though.

Bags are for the All Go, No Show type. U could bag your car if your a Car Show person but they would definately NOT be good for road racing and such. Prolly not really good for daily driving either if ur roads are rough. Plus, where would U put all the air compressors?

The main Bag crowd are people with really really nice show cars/trucks. Especially Trucks. I don't think i've ever seen a good show truck without 20s and Bags.
