I'm 100% stock...

I had considered air shocks as a possibility for a while. (Adjustable ride height)

currently want (one day in the distant and modified future) tein edf.

And technically - 'lines already have coil overs. Its just the setup of the shock in the spring (or so I understand - go ahead, kill me if I'm wrong...)

incase you have the wrong idea, the Tein EDFC only controls damping...not height.

Yeah, but since I actually want to push my car hard once in a while, they are probably better. same height, perhaps, but can soften them off for road & tighten them for track (for when I get there...)

race quality air shocks... I couldn't find out if they were height adjustable - and as for air bags, well, although triple convolute bags have the right amount of travel (and legality), they are a 'street' application (afaik).

not that I get to the track (once so far), but I will one day.

sumone in Perth had those in a civic....I went to the same pannel beater where the guy did his panelwork....the panelshop owner said that the suspensions are too soft buoyance....not very nice to drive in

answer to your question is 'no'. Short reason is "airbags don't handle well" long reason is "do research". air sounds all good, but in practice, its just not worth paying for (I still intend to keep using it, but only for combustion and respiration)

If you could find a set that can 'handle' ... and is cheaper than proven technologies, awesome. I doubt it, though. Oh - and just a thought - you might want to look at upgrading things like sway bars as well at the same time.

EDIT - just looked at the air-suspension-forum link. damn its empty. time to remind myself "research != google".

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
