No...but then again, I've never looked.

If you want VIP style air bags, where looks comes before performance, then really, any stand-alone bag'll work, with custom mounts needed if there is no kit.

If you want performance, then you may have to go with Shockwaves from Air Ride. They are basically a "coilover" style airbag/shock combo.

man..i road in a landrover with some..couldn't even feel some of those man-eating potholes

and they'd be pretty awsome for speedbumps, everybody gives me dirty looks when i take them sideways

back on course..i was looking at a mag. in my friends house..the have quite a few, mostly universal kits that just require modifing spring/shock mounts on the towers and lower arms

yeah, just to get that JDM look without tearing up aero and the under carrage .. not to mention exhaust .With air bags, flip a switch and hover right over any dangerous bumps.

You can use air system for racing setup as well. I think it was spike or speed that had a bunch of muscle cars w/airbag setup running around a track at speeds of 100+

Thats the first thing that came to my mind. I want to say that it was speed.

Just got done baggin' a 3000GT. Rocks! Great ride at 50-60psi front and rear, corners like on rails with 42-45 front and rear for you trackstars and remember the GT is a heavy *** car. 0psi lays out to about 3/4 inch clearance depending on levelness of pavement. Lifts to about 6"off ground at 80+psi. I love it.

I used a strut bag kit off Suicide Doors meant for a 00up Eclipse just modded to fit a bit. to be honest looks like it'll fit my 95 S14 SE without any more modification. It uses bellows strut bags on front and sleeve style strut bags on rear. Kit from suicidedoors.com costs about $1700 complete with everything to make it move with 10switch box.

I do these installs myself and have been for last 10 years. I usually do trucks but am getting into the import car seen more and more. Wife has a 99 Eclipse Spyder. She's running Vogtland springs on stock struts right now with KYB AGX's in her future, prob around mid summer.

I just picked up the 240SX for a couple G and haven't started on it yet at all.

If you want pics of the 3000GT setup e-mail me and i'll shoot you some. James. [email protected]
