I am probably one of de few on this board that can actually understand wha de both a una a chat bout ....

yeah the air suspension would give you a smoother ride. but you would end up doing something custom . If they make them for the Ford Escort, (may have a different name in the islands) 91-95 then you could use those after a full inspection and maybe a test fit to make sure they fit.
good thing about the bags is you can drop the car to the floor for shows , and then raise it back up in the air for driving home . But you won't win any auto races with the set up though...

I have honestly never looked into it .. Check some of the 3rd gen guys they have some p5 guys running around with air rides so they may know for sure. Also you could do search on Yahoo.. or google for sites that may sell them.. I think it would be a sweet mod though .. I should look into that for the 323...
I think someone may make them for the 3rd gen protege to, but I think that was just a rumor ..

I've heard that air suspension is smoother than coilovers but the good thing is that you can easily adjust the ride height. I think if you can get gas/air shocks you can adjust and it's less expensive than air suspension.
