Who makes the best hydraulic setup for camaros? I think this will set my ride apart from others. Or should I just get air ride. I don't want to hop, probably not good for the 18's, just want the basics. Front, back, side to side, pancake. Basically, control over all four corners. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

i would personally go for air ride.

 

why

 

you know what? now that i think about it.........why? I think the only situation where you would need air ride is in like a full show car where you need to tuck the wheels into the well, or just have that slammed look. Save the 2-3k and buy something else..like a superchrager

 

That's what I would do, but it's not about what we want, he wants air suspension, not a SC. Give the guy info hee needs, not what e think he needs.

I for one know nothing about any suspension, except the stock susp. on my Camaro sucks.

 

I haven't personally ever seen a Hydro setup done on a camaro, nor know who would make one.

The airbag setup I've seem done and is not too bad, although I'm not a huge fan of the "farts" that an airbag setup has.

I've done some hydro setups on other vehicles, but not Camaro's, mostly trucks (An S-10, and a C-1500), and both were fairly straightforward jobs, although these were frame-noched, and body dropped at the same time so overall it was a LOT of work.

The hard part in a F-body would be mounting the pair of pumps/resivors (sp) and the extra batteries for them. I used an additional 2 Yellow tops in the S-10, and 4 in the C-1500. As well as the rear cylinders. In the trucks we mounted them in the bed, and they still protruded into the bed fairly far, in a Camaro, this could pose a fairly large problem, unless you could find cylinders you could bury under the car.

 

Hydros Suck, GET FAST AIR BAGS, theyare so much smoother and ALOT less maintinence for sure.

By the way this is my 100th post so I am now a MEMBER not a junior no more. WOO HOO

 

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. Seriously, I don't think I could ever do it to my see, although I wanted them badly on my '82 ten years ago. I would like airbags mainly to help get over speed bumps, and pulling into steep driveways. I can barely get into my parents driveway without scaping badly, and I'm stock. I really want to lower it, too. However, I don't have the funds to do everything I want, the way I want, so will just ride on stock suspension for a while.
