Question FC Air Suspension

I am about to buy and fc and I was thinking about buying air suspension in the future. What kinds do I get and is it a handful to manage? I don’t plan on making my car a purely drift or track car. I live in South LA and there are many curbs, potholes, and bumps around. So I plan on taking it out a lot. I’ve already searched the prices on a full kit and they are pricey. I was just wondering what ideas I can get out of the people who use air suspension.

This is the only kit I am aware of:
https://suspension-shop.com/air-forc...-rx7-fc3s.html

Otherwise you are making it yourself.

You'll find very few FC air suspension installs so you're in uncharted territory.

There are generic McPherson strut air kits that are a good place to start.

Part shop max now are doing FC suspension kits now .....
then use airlift parts for everything else. computer/manifold, tank and viar compressors. an be bought all together.
Ive bought and fitted all airlift stuff to my s15. Obviously a bit daunting at first if you have no experience with it but loads of install videos on youtube.
There an unreal piece of kit if you have the extra funds.

Not 100% sure if this setup is compatible with their 500 series coilovers for the fc's but looks like a solid option for raising the car 2" for obstacles.
