Rear Airbag

I've searched around and didn't find much so....

I am planning on cutting the coil springs on my 82 Z28. I will cut the fronts about 1-1.5" and the rears maybe 3". My plan is to drasitcally cut the rear springs and put in some airbags. I want to beable to adjust the ride height of the rear, but also have some very good handiling control.

Is this a good idea? Will it work? Should i do it? How should i do it? What parts would you suggest?

I am looking at the AIR Lift 60797 kit http://store.summitracing.com/partde...rt=AIR%2D60797
or

sounds like a crazy question to me. drag racers use the airbags inside of springs to alter the performance. you won't get complete adjustability doing what your doing. you'll just ruin the ride of your car. their are people that drag race with airbags but autox is an entirely different story.

it's one or the other....
