      Honestly I have seen more air ride setups without sway bars and 4 way control and zero handling issues. In fact after relating this thread to a friend of mine with air ride and my FlexFI setup and he told me that his Camaro and his Chevelle have 4 way control and no sway bars as the control arms he bought had no provisions for them and he said he honestly doesnt really feel it need them. With the compression set a little firmer than his brothers car that does have sway bars it does ride rougher in his wifes words but she loves the car none the less.
      I also agree using any type of liquid inside an air spring would really degrade the springs performance. Also prett ymuch anything you put in inside it would damage the spring. Heck even methanol air brake antifreeze isnt really liked by Firestone or any of the other spring manufacturers but they say short term exposure in allowed.
      Honestly I believe automatically controlled shock valving MIGHT be more useful, similar to the Magnetic Ride Control previously mentioned which I do believe was controlling the shocks.
      Honestly you would need atleas 1 or possibly 2, 5 gallon tank, 2 if not 4 compressors and running say Ridetech Big Red Solenoids, most likely 1/2" lines, and some serious cooling/drying for the air generation.
      in other words I really do believe it would be out of the scope of a one off setup as it wouldadd hardware and complexity to a system that requires so little to function at a level far and above the standard steel/fiberglass/carbon fiber spring.
