Try asking in the suspension forum, you'll get more replies.

if you want a lot of drop and an ok ride go with air struts (bags with shock like things in them) or air cylinders. air cylinders are also faster. I'd go with the struts b/c they ride better but you can pull more moves with the air cylinders. Also you don't have as goos as handling as you would with a regualr suspension. So they are mainly for the type of person that likes cruising and showing their car. i have air bags on my truck and I love them.

so how much would each of those be? and would they be fine to drive long distances?

air ride on civics....

 

[super_civic]

yes you can drive them long ditances. they are very durable if thats what you mean. a kit will cost you around $1200 and $1000 for labor.

which is better for a civic tho? airsuspension or regular and what would i need for regular and the cost?

 

[super_civic]

well you will have to ask yourself if you want to have good handling around turns and for racing or do you like to cruise and play around with the suspension and show it a lot?? also in most states ari bags are illegal. I know in Va they are not sure about where your from. In Va a ticket for airbags is $65, that includes court cost. Believe I know. If I was you though I would go with coilovers.

so whats the diff of coilovers and springs? and dont i need struts or shocks or something? and are they adjustable?

 

[super_civic]

for the stuff about the shocks and struts go to the suspension forum. I know a lot about adjustable suspensions but not the performance suspension. But yeah coilovers are adjustable.
