I have 3 inch air cylinders on the front and 4 inch air cylinders on the back of my Honda Civic. When I lower my car the frame rests on my tires.

My question is " Is there any springs or something that I can add to my air cylinders to prevent this from happening in case something goes wrong with my air ride so I can still drive it? Don't get me wrong I like the slammed look, but I want a back up plan just in case the compressor dies or something urgent like that. I drive my car to work about 3-4 times a week.

Thanks!

Bump stops between the suspension components and the frame.  But then it won't drop as low when you air out.

Thanks 98SS! I'll look into getting some for standby use. Who do you recommend to buy these bump stops from? Have a good one!

Most vehicles come with some sort of bump stop built in from the factory.  I know on most trucks, when you lower the truck more than a couple inches, the bump stops on the frame, above the axle, have to be cut out to prevent the ride from being really rough.  On our S-series minis, there's a bump stop under the upper control arm to prevent the front suspension from moving down too far.  Some people cut this out to gain a little more lift after they've bagged the truck.

But a bump stop is nothing more than a physical feature built into the suspension to limit the amount of suspension travel.   You can weld or bolt some type of block to the frame in a position so that the suspension hits it before the tires touch the inner fenders.  I'd strongly recommend fixing a rubber pad or block in there as part of the stopper, in order to try and make it quieter and softer.

I'm not sure of any that you can buy, but you could try searching online, or cut some stops out of a vehicle in a junk yard and reuse them.
