Bag it

Hi all, has anyone installed a air suspension on their C3? Front end would be easy, but I am trying to figure out a safe way to do the rear suspension.
Thanks, Roger

because the air bags allow a certain degree of tuning because you can use air pressure to adjust the preload, ride height etc...

They're called "dual mount springs" You can adjust the spring rate and the ride height.

If these don't fit the bill why do you want to adjust the ride height and spring rate?
