It's possible to bag any car. It's all about the money and how much of it you have to spend.

So, stay in school, get good grades and rule the country....be a lawyer.

it is possible to airbag the tc. However it is quite difficult and costly and the results are usually less than exciting. The problem is that the tc is a macphearson strut front suspension. this means that the strut actually helps to hold the wheel in propper alignemnt rather than a double wishbons style which holds alignment independent of hte strut. So you are limited to some thing like a shockwave, preassembles bag/shock/strut assembly, and these usually don't get the car very low.

If you really wanna lay out your Tc then you should use some kind of air cylendar or for best results Hydraulics. These options will get you the most lift/drop and work the best on this style of suspension. With a 18" wheeel and the propper size tire a tc shild lay out flat on the ground with the propper suspension setup. These cars have wheel wells for days and thus tons of room for hte wheeels to tuck.

You can yet you would rather wanna go with cans instead, almost the same setup and results but smaller. The local shop down the street from me will do them for 2400 installed and takes 10 days for them to be custom made, but the ride is amazing and you will only wanna slam it when your parked
