OZLancerLunitic has an airbag setup in his car, he did all the work himself, might ask him about it. Here's his cardomain page about it:

money money and more money......things you'll need:

Compressor(s)
8 valves(3/8 or larger)
Tank(5 Gallon or larger)
Airline(50ish feet to be on the safe side)
Fittings, fittings and more fittings
Rear Air Cylinders and brackets
Front Air Struts
Switch box
tons of wiring
Gauges

a whole lot more....

Figure atleast a $2,000 initial investment not to mention what you need to add later if more parts are needed(i.e. you want a 2nd compressor)

Its fun and all, but its ALOT of work and if you arent mechanically inclined i DONT reccomend doing it yourself.

If you are seriously interested AIM me at DeadPedestrian99 or RalliartLancer04 and ill help you best i can. PLEASE dont ask me how to do it for under $1000 or something like that, its just not reasonable/possible.

There are no premade kits for our car so get ready to customize.


Props out to Zlancer also for helping me through mine, i know i was a pain in the *** the whole time lol but now its done.
