Default air ride?

what do you guys think about me throwing air ride on my lx? i would be able to tackle not only the handling issue, but ride quality, ride hiegth and clearance issues. i did it on my 55 chevy truck and my dad has done it on his 41 chevy so we kinda have an idea of whats going on. just wondering what everyone else thinks

^^ What ?!? I dont know what the hell you guys are talking about... I guess a 3 thousand dollar air ride technologies setup is ghetto Dude, I am with you... I want to do air ride VERY bad on my 88 LX but I rather just finish my car sometime in the next 5 years instead of 15 or I would. You have the absolute best of all worlds with air ride... 5' adjustability, etc. etc. It just cant get any better. I like it. Just my .02

^^ But you cant go around and pull up to red lights and drop your car just to be cool... I would use it for function only.

I agree. if you want to improve ride quality, that's a sure bet. i've driven several cars with air ride suspension and they cruise amazingly well

^^ Especially aftermarket air ride kits. They are amazing. You can set it so its like riding on a freaking cloud and than literally 1 minute later you can have the stiffest suspension possible... all by a CONTROLLER!!! I dont understand how someone could not like that..
