And yes I tried the search, just looking for more info. Went to www.airbagit.com and www.suicidedoors.com. Does any one know of any other place, or have any advice on fabing up my own set? Thanks in advance.

Where do I get airbag suspension?

Re: Where do I get airbags?
I am also open to coilovers. It would just be soo much cooler to do it with a switch. Tax return is coming, so I will have the money... I haven't searched for coilovers, but does anyone know of a good set for not too much money (<$1200)? Thanks again.

There is a sticky that has a list of all available coilovers for the 3. I don't know which one is best but you can probably get a ton of opinions that are most likely already posted.

i have a frieend at a shop that wanted to bag my car..we've bagged alot of cars...if ur complaining about 1200$ for the price of coilovers dont bother looking into bags for your car...ur looking at 2500-4500 depending on the quality...the air system alone would be over a 1000$...you'll want about a 5-10 gallon tank...a very large compressor...all the lines...npt fittings...solonoids...then you need the bag and seat and top guide, the setup we designed was near 4000$...1200 is just the amount for the tank and solonoids and compressor...then all the fab work to get it to fit somewhere (maybe 4 2.5 gallon tanks around the bottom of the car in some of the empty spaces...i dont know i just chuckled when i saw how little you wanted to spend on such an expensive project

Well hold that chuckle. $1200 was the price I was looking to spend on coilovers. I knew that a bag setup would run me over $3000, which is no big deal, I have a nice tax return coming 
. I have a shop and the capabilities to do the work myself, just never done it before, so I was hoping to find a ready-made kit. The only reason that doing it myself is a last option is because it being my first time, I am sure it would take me like a week+, and this is my only transportation in the winter. But thank you for your input.

depends on the air system u use, the compressor, diameter of the valves, psi you run, size of the tank...heres an explorer i did...this is VERY FAST because he has all 1" valves, 2x 10 gallon tanks, a HUGE compressor that runs off the engine, and for shows a 4000psi nitrogen tank...this video is shot with air though not nitrogen

I saw a guy showing off like that once in a car show... it was a big dodge ram. He was bouncing it all around, and then BAM!! Popped one. He was screwed.

Why would you do this to a Mazda 3.
Unless it is a show car, then I don't understand.
This is more of a racecar. [glow=green,2,300]:autoxer:[/glow]
