You have to do AirRods, such as the blowjax, because an air bag wont fit in hondas. The only true advantage these have over hydros are they dont use messy fluid, and depending on what setup you running they you will have to use heavy batteries that take up space. The disadvatages are unless your running big air tanks with thick lines and an expensive heavy duty compressor these air kits are super slow. They will be good aslong as you have air in the tank, but if you have a small compressor and a small tank you could be waiting a while for the tank to fill so you can get off the ground.
This setup
might be your cheapest bet if your just looking for a way to get off the ground while your driving.
Run a 1 pump setup with 4 dumps running off your car battery. I wouldnt do this if you plan on hitting the swithes a lot or youll drain you battery but it works perfect just to raise and lower it. Reds Hydraulics makes a kit for your Hydralic cylinder that will allow it to pretty much bolt right in I beleive. If you are worried about a stiff ride with hydraulics you can get accumulators they will act as a resevoir when you hit a bump, I heard they are great.
Heres a link for Reds Hydraulic's page so you can look around and put some prices together:

And heres one for HotHondaCars.com that sells BlowJax Kits:

I personally love Hydraulics, I bought a set of bags for my truck then traded them to a friend for a 3 pump setup.. Man was I glad I did to. He can only raise his truck up about 2 times and then has to wait for about 30mins to an hour before the compressor fills the tank back up.
