Re: airride on a thirdgen

Always looks good. You have one nice looking camaro. One question how big is your wheel and what size tire are you running. With the air ride did you have to do special modifications to make it tuck in.

Re: airride on a thirdgen

the fronts are 245/40/18x8 and the rears in that picture are 295/35/18x10. i didn't have to do much in modification on the car but the offset had to be perfect with the width i wanted obviously in order for the car to sit down without any interferance.

for the rear of the car it's pretty identical to the 4thgen beyond the shorter axle. i had to hammer in a few bumps on the inner quarter (roughly 1/2" for clearance) i also had to cut off the stock bumpstops and relocate them. all of which wasn't very time consuming but essential to fit such a wide wheel and keep the outer tire tread in stock dimensions. the idea was to make the car look like it had stock wheels fron the front or side but still have the aggressive stance from the rear and be functional. turned out very nicely.
