Air Ride Speedster Replica

Has anyone installed an Air Ride set up on a Porsche Speedster Replica? Especially on a balljoint/IRS pan based car. I am also looking at the Airkewld setup with adjustable springplated on the rear so that I don't need to remove the torsions(requires removing body).

Have you tried contacting Airkewled to see if they might know of a customer that has already done that which you seek to do?

I already emailed Airkewld and they said that they have not spoken with anyone who has installed it on a Speedster Replica.

Does anyone have any pictures of their rear bag setup? Did you have to narrow the rear at all to make the rear wheels fit. I'm looking to do this to my speedster too so any info would be appreciated.
