Thanks Clint...That's what I needed!! -----Original Message----- From: Clint Hooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 6:02 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Air Ride
Yes,my 69 now has a four-way,independent Air Ride suspension,Dan. Ride is defnitely better than the former QA1 coilover set-up that I had on the car,previously. Handling seems to be about equal(which was very good before) but I'm still learning how to utilize the system. I need to program the computer so it starts up with a specific ride height. Once that's done,finding the system's "sweet spot" will be much easier. My car was one of the few with air ride at Chevellabration and dropping it down in the grass on the show field generated a lot of conversation. We used products from Air Ride Technology http://www.ridetech.com On the front,I installed a pair of their Strong Arm drop center lower control arms and Shockwave V3.0 coilovers. On the rear,I installed a pair of their Shockwave 9000 coilovers. For a control system,I used their four way ARC4000c that controls each corner independently of each other for best handling. My cost for all of ART's top of the line components was approximately $3,000. If one wanted just a much better ride quality,you could install a set of separate air bags and shocks for less than $1,500. Just depends on your individual needs and wants.
