^^^ lol

But seriously, any GOOD airbag setup is going to be custom. Have you considered height-adjustable coilovers?

I believe all coilovers are fully adjustable, height included.

If you take a look at some pictures of coilovers, you'll notice some ring shaped collars that you can turn and rotate to move up and down over the shock body. It moves the position of the spring that holds up your car and adjusts the ride height of your car...



The red collars can be adjusted with a special wrench, usually supplied with your coilovers. It's a little bit of a pain in the butt, but you could slam it for the weekend, then raise it back up for the weekdays...

It's not as easy to immediately adjust your ride height as airbags... but the ride quality is MUCH better, and it's better than non-adjustable shocks and springs.

Hope that helps...

if you want to instantly be lower or higher than coilovers are not for you, changing the ride height requires you to jack up the car, take off the tires, etc, just to adjust them.

no companys have really invested in making a air bag "kit" for the tc, because there is not enough interest in it.

your best bet is either air runner, which will run you $4K or a custom setup.

heres the link for the air runner setup.

Found one by chance: $1995 for the tC (just relesed in Oct. '08 ), but it doesn't say much specs like max drop/height, etc. Just email/contact them for more info.

"800-842-8789 US 480-668-5448 International. This is a COMPLETE KIT. Ship overseas is expensive. Much lower rates if you email sales@airbagit.com We will get back to you quickly & ship within 48hrs most items."

that would be a no right there for me.
