You should check out this company...

//www.universalairsuspension.com

They make air bags that replace only the springs on a coil system which means you can keep your original struts and mounts for most applications.
They are pretty compact bags so you shouldn\'t need to cut too much if any at all to make them fit smoothly.
The air compressor and tank can actually fit within the spare wheel well for a tidy install.
They have a few good pictures showing a couple of RX\'s on bags. Certainly would be interesting to see in the flesh!

A company called Rayvern Hydraulics can do air suspension for an FD.A customer i have might be selling his air suspension,he has already removed the front ones,and I guess the rear ones will go when he finds he can\'t do a 10 second run with them.

I didnt know that air suspension was a big thing in the U.K.

I have  a 2001 Eclipse that is on air suspension, I spent a good chunk of change on it a few years back and have not had a lot of problems with it.

I have seen a few FD\'s here in the States on air and they all were on show cars.
I have seen a bunch on FC\'s for both show and daily drivers.

There was a show FD (with Veilside kit and paint which flipped between green and purple) that ran hydraulics / air a year or two ago.

It was in the magazines at the time, however I recalled that the lad who owned it said the handling was crap and that he was going to swap to coilovers?

Just FYI

The Teins only have electronic damping control. I don\'t know of any coilovers with electronic ride height adjustment...otherwise I would buy them!!!
