Aren't air cylinders only for low rider hydrolic type of cars? I thougt they really didn't do anything for performance.

if u do that, u are a ricer... plain and simple.

You own a 3rd Gen RX7, one of the best SPORTS cars ever made, its not a lowrider. Putting air suspension on that car will ruin everything mazda accomplished.

i am a lot more concerned with appearances than I am with performance because i know having the fastest car on the road will only get me into trouble, whether its flying off some corner cuz im racing too fast, or too many speeding tickets.....a fast car is nice but i dont care if it is the fastest.

The main reason I was looking into air cylinders is because I live in a pretty rural area with some not terrific roads and some that have speed bumps and i would rather have the option of being able to raise up a couple inches if i have to than wreck a body kit or who knows what else if i bottom out.....
