New to the scene and need some input.

Hello fellow car enthusiasts! I have been in the realm of car audio for a long time but am very interested in stance. Here's the deal.
1. Like my username states, I'm looking for cheap options $5,500ish not including the car if possible. (Hold your laughter for I have NO idea how much anything costs lol)
2. This car will be my daily so I was (strongly) considering a civic hatchback (chonda IK
3. Since it will be my daily, how much am I looking at for bagging it?
If there are any major things to keep in my back pocket or anything like that ANY info is greatly appreciated and needed.

Let's work on #3 first. How much do you want to spend on a bag setup? Bag Riders is where you're going to want to start your shopping.

Yeah I have been checking out a few websites but bagriders seems pretty good. Still in the market for a car and contacted a guy about his Integra r so hopefully that will be mine. From all the sites I checked out, EZ air ride classic kit was more my budget($1,099) but the management seems out of date (correct me if I'm wrong)

The EZ Air Ride Classic Kit tees the sides of the car into pair of paddle valves, which is a fundamentally flawed approach. Each corner should have its own paddle valve or pair of electric valves to prevent cross-flow when cornering. In addition, the bags they are offering will not work on a coilover suspension system like Hondas have.

Bag Riders offers manual management systems from $600-$800 depending on options. From there, depending on the car you wind up with, you'll probably want to look at Air Lift Universal kits to fabricate your own bag-over-struts or a pre-fabricated kit like Air Lift's Slam Series. Looks like Air Lift has a pre-fab option for bags for the DC2 that's about $1600, and with the options I'd pick on a manual management system, that'll get you to about $2500-$2600 for a complete setup, including miscellanei.

EDIT: AirREX also offers a bag kit for the DC2, if you can survive their shit-tastic website, though they don't show a price.

Its the Acura 'murica Integra but 100% will do the JDM body conversion. I'll for sure check out airlift and do some more research. Thanks for all the help!
