I don't think they come cheap. I've heard that there is a problem with the front airbags rubbing on stock suspension. I have Held wide slalom suspension which will accept airbags and is offered from Held for about $800. The rear airbag struts can cause interference with wide tires. The last I heard rockcrawl had the rear airbag struts. I don't know what he paid or if he installed them.

They do not sell a air bag kit for Fieros for the main reason that the bags will not bolt into place with out rubbing. I am now selling a front kit for Fieros, but would have to have your subframe to weld the bags into place and make the brackets. Also have to cut out part and reinforce it so the bags don't rub. I am running slam bags from suicidedoors.com. They are small, and can take a lot of abuse. As for the rear struts, you have to buy an universal kit and pretty much make them yourself. They do sell a sleeve bag kit for Fieros, uses different control arm for a low price of $3,000 lol. With my set up I can ride 2 inches above ride height, and when I lower it the tires tuck under the fenders. If you would like me to install air bags on the front of your car let me know and we can work somthing out. I have a couple extra subframes here I could do it to so you won't have so much down time on your car...just have to swap out the subframes pretty much. Heres a video of my set up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDd2ARAs6Fk and some pics:
Thanks, Ryan

any body know where i can get a front and rear air bag suspension?
Ryan, Joe, and I all have cars with air ride. I have had mine in for a while, but the car is still not running. I have not heard about Joes car. Ryan can get you set up with it. His is up and running. I dont have the time right now to do them, but here is mine.

I alwaws have to laugh when someone says that. I wish it was cheap. The materials and the labor is very expensive to do air. The ride makes it worth it tho. If you want cheap get hydro's. Just dont complain about the ride or when it leaks fluid every where
This is something I plan on doing with my Fiero. I'm just goin for the adjustability, I don't care to have it up and down in just a fraction of a second. I'll probably take the subframe out of my parts Fiero and weld that up for some bags. I'm hoping to get a setup for under a thousand dollars when I'm done. Just have to figure out what my plan will be for the rear.

Off topic, but just wanted to say man did you do a nice job on the underside of that car! No way it looked that good even straight out of the factory.
