That's going to be hella expensive. Talking $1,000 at least for the cheap stuff.

Unless you are making a show only car, I wouldn't recommend them. They aren't good for highway rideing or anything over 40mph really.

They are mainly for going slow and showin off. Not much else practical use that I know of.

Exactly, your car shouldn't be scraping at stock height. You should just get shocks and springs for your ride. Preludes already come with good suspension, so don't **** that up by getting air ride

Ever see one of those big 20 foot trampolines? Go jump on one of them in the middle and while you're in mid air, get in a sitting possition. Just let the trampoline keep you bouncing. It'll get less and less but imagine doing that over every bump.

That's highway driving on bags. :down:
