Default Suspension

Hoping the Forum can help me out. I am going to buy wheels and tires soon. I cannot fathom putting wheels and tires with an undercarriage and suspension that is 23 yrs old and stock. Knowing that I ultimately will have the front on air ride through this next phase of freshening the suspension, body mounts, chassis grommets ect. I will be lowering the rear end about 1"5 " and the front will have a curb clearing setting, driving and slammed park settings. Two Questions:

1. Who has successfully used Air Ride on the front of a C4?
2. Assuming budget is not considered what parts should be replaced to completely go through all the mounts, grommets, rubber wedges ect to reset the 23yr old car to better than factory?

Thanks !
Dan

duplicate thread. Stay on one or the other.
Why do you think you can make the suspension better than factory? What are you trying to accomplish?
