Air Ride has a kit, but it's expensive and the shocks aren't performance oriented.
Most of the basic air suspension stuff is no different with these cars as any other it's just the front bags that are a bit tricky. Ther Air Ride fronts are about $850-$900 and I know another brand which is similar for about $550, but both use regular shocks which are not valved specifically to these cars.
If you want performance, then I'm working on a cheaper alternative using universal strut bags and your existing shocks. The bag setup is about $350.

If you want cheaper still, you can use a regular bag and mount a shock on the side like this.
So you have to decide if you want a cruiser or great handling foremost as well as your budget.
