Yeah. It probably will handle good that way...:) I live in an area that has steep drive ways and I
like my cars "looowww". The two things never mix so that's why Im going air ride. I haven't ran my
Midget yet with the air ride suspension. Iv only had the car for about 8 months and 4 of those
months its been in my shop being "tricked out". I do have air ride in the front of my 85
supercharged Toyota MR2 and Tokico 10 way adjustable shocks on all 4 corners and the car rides
surprisingly very well. It doesn't hop around like you normally see in slammed trucks and Hondas
with air ride. Im doing the same sort of thing with my Midget with the same air bags and adjustable
shock conversion. A lot of you guys probably wont like what Im going to do to my 72 round wheel arch
Midget. Here's a short list.
200hp Toyota 4AGZE supercharged motor swap (I know this motor up and down) with a Corolla RWD
transmission
Its getting 17" wheels all around (my brother wants me to go 18" but Im not sure about that yet..)
Up dating the complete suspension
11" 4 wheel disk brakes from an MR2

Black leather bucket seats out of an MR2
Custom center (arm rest) console
All interior redone in black leather with modern style carpet
Original style white face Smiths gauges
6 speaker stereo system with 2 10" subwoofers
All lamps, reflectors, and emblems replaced with Sprite units
Same silver paint that's on this Sprite
