Nooooooooooooo!!!! No air ride suspensions, I have seen it on show eclipses and civics, but please not a FD. I know it would suck on a road course and I don't think it would be too good for drag racing either..

What black said and more. Air suspension is extremely gay and wouldn't hold up against abuse. In other words, it's all show and no go. Not to mention that they are for lazy people who wouldn't wanna adjust their coilovers by hand and have to instead push a button 
. You lazy bum!

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
dont listen to what these people. after all...it is YOUR car...right??? not theirs.
i think airbags are tizity-tizizilizin-tight yo. who needs coilovers when you have air bags for adjustable suspension?? also, the more arbags your car has...the safer it will be. look at Mercedes Benz and Lexus now. they are making cars with 4 to 5 airbags per passenger. now if you get airbags on all four corners...you will have 3 airbags per person since the FD is only a 2 seater!
i say go for it! its your car...do whatever you want.

. And what do air bags have to do with this? So get in an accident and these things will eject faster than a ****; safely putting away from harms distance so that you can pick them up to retrieve them later...right? All fun and games dood. Do what you want, I just don't think it's worth the money IMO.

Go ahead and try it.
When the air pump dies or when one of the airbags gets reptured, you let us know how it went
You would probably be better off getting airSHOCKS. These do not need an external airpump, and are almost as reliable as standard shocks.
