I've done it, didn't ever get the thread finished. Anyway, it is somewhat difficult as there aren't off the shelf kits available since Bagyard went out of business. If you are a welder, or have a friend who welds it's not too bad. I'll help any way I can, IE parts, advice, designs, etc.

Coils for this car have NO height adjustment. They could, but for some reason do not. Unless you really spend they'll also be ill-suited for the car and lead to less than desirable ride quality. I'd say air is the best way to go, but it can be spendy.
