Sorry Polarbear, but if that is your car, it simply looks like a ghetto pimp car to me. That is my opinion, and not any reflection on you personally. Tell us what drop springs or method you used to get that car so low, and explain the air ride question you are asking. OK, now my flame suit is on.

Google AirRideTechnologies, or something like that. Not only do they have state of the art suspension, but can also be deflated for 'show' purposes.
Polar Bear, most here do good to keep their rides stock, much less try anything new. Even progressive rate springs spin their heads here.

i like the concept of being able to raise and lower the car depending on speed and such to improve handling and all that but im sort of not digging the bottom dragger look.....nice car though.

Well I'm a little more open minded then some of my fellow forumers!
That is a very nice car. No it's not what I would drive. But one can tell very quickly the attention to detail is through out that car. Someone is and should be very proud of that ride. No matter what we change on OUR cars someone will inform us how much they dislike it. Nice body work, 65/66 triple black convertible WOW sweet car! Thanks for sharing! I guess when I look at others cars I try in seeing not only the picture but the amount of time, and labor (oh and $$) that went into their ride to make it the way it is. That's not to imply that cars with lots of $$ are any better then others. 05SDI

Now that we got the negatives out of the way...the best way to dial in your ride is to run through a test slalom at a real track event. Once you've got your best time, you are set.
By the way, if I had $4-5k for the complete setup, I would really consider it.

i actually like it, but i agree with soaring. it looks a bit pimped out, but i think some new rims would change that. cool ride.
