Default Air bags?

I would like to know where to go to get some air bags on my car. I just got a 1997 lincoln continental. It has the air ride suspension in the back but I want it all around and I want to lay frame. Does anyone know where to go where they do good. I don't care about the money I want it done right.

DC customs does bags, North Tampa Customs does bags, and then there are some other places on the other side of florida. im not sure if ull be able to lay frame with just bags, they told me in order to lay frame id have to do a body drop also or some shit, but then again im in a SUV, it might be different for u. north tampa quoted me at $3500 OUT THE DOOR, and it would take about 3 weeks to complete. from what ive heard from 90% of ppl is go on ebay, and source out ur own compressor and tanks and shit instead of buyin a kit, the kits supposedly usually have weak links, like theyll have a good compressor, but shitty tanks or vise-versa, so they say for about the same price as the kit, u can get a good compressor(Viair 450) and some good tanks and misc shit, i duno about DC Customs, but NTC sed they would give a lifetime warranty on all the lines and welds and shit like that...so $3500 seems like a very good deal(IMO), especially cuz its on a smaller SUV. hope this helps.

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

You shouldve got an earlyier one, i got the computer to control how much air goes in the stock bags so i was able to adjust that bitch to wherever i wanted. Your not keeping the stock rears are you? DC does some nice work.

Thanks that really helps. I dont want to keep the rear bags if its not good. I would rather have aftermarket all around. I really don't care if I lay frame but I wanted to be able to put bags on the car. I have always wanted it and been in alot of cars that had it. Now I have a car that it would be good on I want to get it done. Sucks that it takes 3 weeks but hey if its a good job I don't mind.
