basically anyting bolt on for the GA and GAGT will fit either seamlessly or with just a little modding. The one problem with air ride is if you bring the wheels in too close to the body, in the back, the door jam (hinge thing) stops the wheels from comming up any higher so you have to relocate them or re-do your entire door setup. otherwise, if your willing to pay for it, air ride has a system for our cars and theres annother website that I'll find for you that I was looking at before.

one of the best kits i have worked with
everything is plug and play with excption of you have to ground it but that`s it
the struts are bolt on and are even adjustable meaning you can give a soft or firm ride
they are expensive but worth every penny you spend
trust me buy that kit iam buyin it for my self and have installed their kits in the past AIR RIDE!!!!

Yea he is right, for adjustable suspentions on mcpherson strut cars hydros are the bet but also more expensive...I had air before and had problems with it so i went juice instead. Bags are the better option and are your safest because if something goes wrong your car isnt laying frame and uable to move...
just whatever you do, do NOT buy anything from Chassistech aka AIM industries....

I had their best kit...they suck
compressor kept popping the solonoid...
the tank rusts from the inside out..
Their fitting are the cheapest thing man have ever made (cheap plastic snap in fittings)...
Their valves screwed up...
list goes on.

Ok one thing robbie told me that actually stuck in my head is this
Be cheap with other things in your car but NOT YOUR SUSPENTION because it could mean your life. But its your call girly
