John, You may want to look at old Mini Cooper air bags. I saw a set at a shop 
years ago and they are very small and may work for you. Bob in connecticut

<<           I run a short wheel base Dodge Colt, solid suspension, and it is 
 a rough ride @ 144MPH. I always thought that a small amount of compliance 
 would help, something on the order of an inch or so. And am now designing a 
 'liner with the air pucks in it for suspension.
          Question....with the air suspension pucks, ( I think they are 
 machine mounts, you know, the rubber hockey puck thingys that are air 
 pressurized)
          Am I required to use a shock at each corner that has these units 
 mounted as suspension per the rule II-4 ?  or do they qualify as both 
 suspension and shock?
