5cudo air suspension

Hi.
What's your thought to fitting a air suspension system to a Ford Cougar based 5cudo?
Would work well when driving down bad roads. Speed bumps etc. and drop if you want the race track ride height.

That looks good.  The West Coast (SL500) has this as standard so I can say it's very useful to be able to raise the car up and down.  It's not as extreme as this.

I think I would want to limit the down travel, mainly because I want mine to be functional rather than cosmetic.  Again I ask myself " would a (real) Ferrari have this fitted? ".   But who am I to say what looks good or not.  It would be a boring world if everybody's car was the same.
Not all problems can be solved with gaffer tape.  For those there is WD40.
Not even gaffer tape can fix stupid, but it can mask the sound.

If you can’t buy it or steal it you have to make it.

I have a air ride kit sitting in my garage for my cougar, no comment on it yet since it's not installed.

Could you give details of the kit and where you got the kit from.
So far myself I have drawn a blank finding one for the cougar.
