I have a friend wanting to get his 200sx on air.. wasn't sure how the suspension is set up, or if there are any brackets out that could be modified for cylinders or bags. If anyone happens to know.. feel free to post any input you have. Thanks!

all that is is a 2dr version of a sentra. its setup calls for cylinders. The suspension isn't the same or similar to a neon. Its basically like most hondas.

Hey Ricky the only company I know that sells a pre made air strut for that is AIM. You could make your own up front with a universal air bag kit. The only thing is if your looking for something bolt on in the rear your have to do air cylinders unless you get creative. Not sure how much work you are looking to do

yea its close to a civic suspension, and it is a 2 door sentra, basic cylinder setup fr the rear and mac strut with a bracket is all for the front.

the front end should be on McPherson style struts. So the front is strut bags & the rear is cylinders

here's what the suspension looks like

REAR STRUTS

front struts

get a strut bag and use the stock strut where it mounts up and make the tubing in between just look at the front end, if the strut turns with the wheel when it steers you need the mac strut, if not, you can use whatever you want. im having a hard time identifying it being a mac but i think it is. im not at the office so my book of magic is unavailable at this time.

Im not sure how wide the bushing at the bottomg is, but i think you can use a 2" buching. Then just get some round bar & have one end thread so it will screw on to the cylinder shaft & weld the other end to the bushing. Or you can hack off the bushing on the struts & weld the round bar to that
