you get what you pay for man. You could do your air ride install yourself. Its not hard at all. i did my neon in one weekend & i did my buddies 05 civic in less than a day. No bolt on air bag system will put you all the way on the ground. but depending on what kit you have, you should be pretty damn close

JUST an FYI. www.aplusperformance.com sells the same kit by the same company, for $1899. They are also having a 5% off sale on them which brings it to $1805. So you save a ton of cash this way.
These are next on my list as well.

Sorry for the hijack , but ,...CrucialNeon, i may have asked you this before, but what modification did you have to do in order to install the 1st gen kit on your 2nd gen?
I have a guy that might sell me his 1st gen kit, and i want to make sure its pretty much a bolt on.

Thanks

all i had to do was switch the upper strut mounts to 2nd gen upper strut mounts. I bout mine 2nd hand from someone who never installed them. But he did install the 1st gen upper strut mounts.

What does a mod like full air suspension do to the handling of the car? I've previously heard that going to air suspension makes the car mushy around turns, etc. This is something I've always wanted to do to a car, and for $2k it might be a long-term goal, but I'm still considering it.
