hypothetical question

I was wondering, & didn't find what I needed on Google.

If I wanted to run air bags on the front, do they just replace my coils or is there something else that needs to change?

Obviously besides the airbag system, I'm talking can I buy a kit & toss it in, or do I need to modify the suspension to work with bags?

It's been a few years since I messed with this stuff, but last I knew (for the MII, at least) the kit has adapters that fit into the upper spring pocket and special lower control arms for the bags to mount to. It's not as simple as just removing the coil and placing the bag in the space. You might get better info from these guys...
