There are many different options for you.. cylinders or airstruts.. then bags in the back..

please dont buy cheap stuff.. please.. I know you are young and dont have a lot of money but any air system needs upkeep and parts will go out eventualy but cheap valves, lines you not be a happy camper..

I would look in some trucking magazines.. look towards the back and there are tons of shop's.. ask tons of questions..

You can also buy cheap air bags in the back.. I only run firestone.. but thats a personal preferance..

What kind of compresor are you going to run or looking at? I Run like Viair compressors.. you should get a 100% duty cycle one.. duty cycle means 5 minutes on 5 minutes off.. or same time on it needs same time off .. you can buy a higher rated compressor with lower duty cycle % wich means it will fill up faster but you should let it rest more between playing with it.. and everyone says they will only bring it up and down when they are parked.. man I have had mine on for 2 years now and I use mine constantly..

Also if you do not have that much money you can get manual air set ups for pretty cheap.. electric ones are more.. but more expensive..

Hope this was of some help.. and good luck

My car is on the front page of my web site.. it lays flat on the ground.. lays unibody on 18's (no need for a body kit on this one)

Thanks 03, if this is going to happen, its going to be long term before i do buy it. I just wanted to know my choices and whats out there. i might just do lowering springs with aftermarket shocks and struts.

Dan,
You must be a mind reader... Autolock kit on the way to shave the handles
Kevin...Plus I would say that it looked pretty dam nice the way it was
Thanks Kevin
i love your car its super clean, ide love to see it in person . I fell in love with air suspension after i met my friend Dan at school who has a bagged S10 which will also be body dropped this spring. I love his truck and hittin switches for the ladies. He also has drag blocks on the frame rail for tail gaters its quite a truck. after i get out of college i will definetly be bagging my PT.

Dan

Dan,
Thanks for the compliments. That was the goal when I bagan to mod the cruiser was to keep it simple and clean.. It is my daily driver so I didn't want to do too much with the car. Sorry I can't show you the car in person unless you wind up in Beaverton Oregon sometime..in you want to see some original pics of the car you can go to ptcruiserworld and look under Kevspt in the gallery.. Kevin
