Default Air Ride ! What is the best air ride Kit for my Honda?

I have a 97 honda Civic 4 door. I recenty just got my car out of the body shop. Shaved door handles, shaved roof, full body kit molded, except front end. The car is a Red Candy. Anyhow, I am looking to put a air ride kit on my car. I do not know much at all about air ride kits. I am looking for the best kit possible for my car, regarless of cost. Any suggesions?

Get a coilover setup instead, and spend the rest of the cash on other mods...

I wanted to get the air ride because i dont want to take a chance in my body kit hitting the ground. An air ride would be an easy way to jack up the car when i am driving and to slam it down when i am parked or at shows

Get us some pictures of how high your car is right now so we know what you mean. If you take bumps slow you shouldn't have a problem with a 2", maybe even 3" drop. (btw, slammed isn't always, "best in show")

Pics attached.

I currently have H & R springs on the car. I believe a 2" drop in front and 1.75" in back. I am concered that my custom molded side skirts are going to scrape. I only drive the car on special occasions and sometimes on weekends.
