Ok heres the deal guys, Air ride isnt ricey at all. I agree with you Dilemma_cuts it is more like PIMPIN. They come factory on some cars. Maybe not as extreme. But air ride it air ride. And most people I have talked to and showed mine to like them, and are always wanting to play with mine. Now as for weight addition it only added about 50 pounds to my car, now I know most stereo systems are more than that.
My system came with the 4 cans, 8 valves, all the fittings, all the hose, 2 compressors, a 7 gallon tank and 8 switches. from FBI. And it only costed me 1570 after tax. Now installing it is the expensive part. FBI wanted like 4 or 5 grand to install. Now I didnt want to spend, let alone have that much to spend, so I did it my self. Im not going to lie it was a b***h and a half beacuse i had to fabricate and weld 2 mounts for my tank and compressors into my trunk. But that was just beacuse I wanted a clean install. And I didnt want it to take up the whole trunk. You could ask anybody from the sac meet it came out good.
All and all after everything was said and done, and working perfect I spent 2000, and in my opinion it was well worth it. It is so much fun and it helps alot with getting up driveways and over bumps and stuff.... plus girls love it lol. Granted you could just throw it all together and spend less than 2000. But then you wont have any room in your trunk and it will look like s**t.
oh yea all those prices are in american. And who ever it was that said the s**t about needing a new frame your and idiot hondas dont have frames the have unibodies, i would like to see you try to switch out your unibody.
