    air ride suspension

    i have a set of Tien springs on order for the 2014 mirage. i will live with them for this year but really want to scrap some pavement with an air ride system. i need to know if there are any older front struts that fit the 2014 mirage. i cannot find any air ride available for the mirage so need to get a little creative to get some bags on this car of mine. any info will help.

    I found two full air suspension kits listed for 2012+ Mirage. Anyone able to confirm these?

    I can confirm the first kit will likely be worth more than many of the cars it gets installed on.

    They both must be stock photo's. It'd be neat to see how the cars in the video links" I posted in the fender rolling thread were done.

    OMG... first pot hole and all of the plastic would just fly around, was impressed with the exhaust though - the stock "muffler" looks like stolen from some Vespa scooter, can't imagine how a loud exhaust would sound with CVT, most likely funny! Hard to say now because of all the noise inside of the car, soundproofing is high on my 'to do' list. Anyways, impressed by the time/money thrown in those cars.

    There are so many places you could throw money at in a Mirage, but 1/3 to 1/2 the car value on air shocks??? Brilliant. Your 78hp car with 4" wide tires needs that long before more power, wider tires, improved bushings, etc. Hell, improve the radio first.

    The late 90s and early 2000s tuner scene was putting 3x-10x of the cars value just in mods. As Fummins mentioned, there's videos in asia of air suspension kits. They're probably better over there. Main purpose of air is getting it low and a comfortable ride....but only known comfortable air rides are OEM. I'm not going to add air ride as Silvers Neomax are only $1200 and there's no benefits from air for me.

    All along I thought air shocks were just for towing.
