Air Ride

Re: Air Ride
thank you...
i don't have any video but if someone can tell me how to post a quicktime movied my digital camera converts small videos to such so i could do short clips. as far as total i was sponsored by air ride but the complete cost of all the parts i have on my car would have come around to $3500 but it's not all really needed.
i'm running strut bags up front with the qa1 12 way adjustable billet struts. 3/8" line and big red valves (8 valves total for 4 way control so you don't have a cady type ride), 5 gallon tank, viair 450 compressor and the ride pro-e digital control with remote.
the only thing i don't have is the level pro which is basically like what was described above where it automatically levels using pressure adjusting sensors on the car....i might add it down the road but right now i don't see a use for it.
all i can say is the adjustment is great because i love my car lowered but with my lt's and 4" exhaust i drag on everything so now there really isn't much that's a concern when driving my car. definately has a learning curve with getting pressure right but it's one of the best mods i've done to my car yet.....alot of fun and a great ride.

i would not recommend auto-x with this setup but for a street/strip car it works great....you could use it for auto-x but it just wouldn't make sense.

Re: Air Ride
I'm really curious to details as my car is currently all still apart before the engine gets here- and I was looking to upgrade from the factory equipment. The assembled K-member is just sitting there looking really bored...

i posted about this earlier....if you going to jump ditches or rag on your car then i wouldn't do it. if you want to do donuts in the parking lot and hit the track a few times once in awhile with normal street use it's great.
i really don't see someone spending $4,000+ on a suspension to beat up on the car but the feel of the car with 4 way of course hasn't changed a bit. it's as tight and responsive as it was with the springs and even coilover conversion i had.

Re: Air Ride
i'd highly recommend it. you can get started for as little as $600 and then upgrade as you grow with your funds or needs. i highly recommend their parts for someone who wants the adjustment.

air ride isn't as cheap as some of the others which is the downside but their product and customer service is the best in their category.

Re: Air Ride
air ride big red valves.....if you want quick valves buy a truck. you'll overshoot your target air pressure, you won't be able to have any presets and you'll basically be so fast you'll have issues. you can't hop a camaro.
