Default air suspension for a fg2????

I have a 2008 civic si coupe and its my daily driver.. a lot of my dub friends have airride on their cars and sya that its give a smoother more confortable ride for daily driving. Now I'm not gunna be a damn ricer and put a body kit on my car and ish but I would like a more comfortable ride for my 50 mile per day drive as well as the ability to have an aggresive stance and still be able to lift her up to go up to the mountains ... does anyone know of a company that would sell a bolt on kit for my car??

If you wanted a smoother ride you should have bought an EX.

your "dub friends" said that? how much smoother can 20+" wheels with 35 series side wall can it be compared to a civic.

you're better off trading your si wheels for some EX's wheels and getting a fatter tire.

Well, T-Wun, you should have said V-Dub, and we wouldn't have this CUN-fusion.

Throw some 13s on your fg2...do it.

a air ride suspension as in air bags? they will make your car so bouncy! youll understand when you ride in one. You have to sacrafice some what to have the agressive stance.

Your friends must have some old school vdubs.

Air suspension has come a long way. It's not just for hoppin' and droppin' anymore. There are performance setups that rival the performance of coilover setups, and ride better.

lol that was funny fiji but seriously to have that done it will cost thousands and thousands of dollars. He just wants a more agressive look and it being confy for the daily. Find some local people that have their car slammed and test drive in them and see if its comfy enough.

It's two grand for a full kit for 6th and 7th gen civics. When and if someone releases a kit for the 8th gen, it will probably be around the same price.

Yeah...like I said...air bag technology has come a long way. I rode in a 69 Camaro with an air bag setup. It was so comfy to ride in (nicer than the ride in my friend's stock TL) and it handled like it was on rails.
