Default Air ride suspension...what to use?? (2k1 Formula)

I've searched and found that it's difficult to find an adjustable air ride suspension for the front of our cars (2k1 Formula in case you missed it in the title) b/c it is a coilover sus. set up. Has there been any thing that has come out for our cars to use as far as a kit goes or universal set up?? I know Air bagit has a kit but I don't want to spend $1,800 for one. I only want the front done too. Thanks in advance.

Its mostly a custom setup unless your willing to buy the expensive kits. I did a setup with universal air aerosport bags. Check out my album for the pics.

here ill post them up....

You basically have a support perch for the bottom of the bag and a upper mount spacer, which i had to adjust the lenght to get the right spring rate for ride height.

Nicely done...sorry took me awhile to get back on here...anyway, do you have a write up anywhere on this? So it looks like you've eliminated the spring....are the spacer and support perch custom made?? Also, is that the factory shock absorber?? Thanks for your help.

No write up on my build; jasonww has a pretty good writeup search for him. The shocks are kyb agx but almost any shock will work. All the brackets and spacers are custom made.

Its no longer on the car if you're interested in the spacers and perches. PM me.
