Is air ride in early SC possible?

Is air ride in early SC's possible? I know it's been done in a number of 964 but haven't seen much of any for the earlier cars with torsion bars. Just curious who has done it and any pros and cons? What's needed etc, etc. Thanks

I think it would be more work than a 964 since you'd need to do all the coilover conversion mods (strengthening stuff) and the bags are going to be bigger than a coilover so you might not have enough clearance in front for the tire, and the rear is going to need to clear the exhaust, driveshaft, and strut tower tube.

What is your motivation for this?

Hi Matt, you should be able to source the parts locally in Mexico.

Looks like someone's been watching too much Velocity channel.
