your car ROCKS!:rockon:

I was reading the instructions for them, and they state that you shouldnt put big tires under em, SCREW THAT, thats why they are cool! I just cant afford em yet...

Where did you mount the air nozzel? I prefer to put it inside, I put it on the passenger side on the plastic. I should have hid it better, I want to put it in the locking compartment or something...
I like these shocks because they show off my glasspack...

If the other one looks like that one, I would put the money into paint and body work instead, or even a set of rims. Car looks like it has had a rough life.

My 70 SS has that, although we call them "Air shocks" or something like that..

Pretty cool, never heard of them before getting the 70 before, though.

"We're not rednecks." Just say no to Hi Jackers.

Please skip the hi jackers, and go for a new paint job. Maybe some rims too.

A highjacked third gen. That sounds like somethin saddam(or however you spell that @#)$&#'s name) has done to a camaro. He came and captured it, and put it through some kind of torture. But, that's just my opinion.

Now that i know what you hillbilly's are talking about... J/P
having a car thats jacket up in the back reminds me of a cat in heat ... jacking the rear effects your handling breaking and acceleration... it f*cks up your car not to manche looks like s*it

I used to think Hi Jacker Air shocks were cool on my 74 Z28 back in the early 80s. But I dont care for the looks of them on a thirdgen.
The above pictured cars with the air shocks must be great on the skidpad HUH?

Ugh, no. Not on a thirdgen anyways.

There is a girl with a 89-90 V6 RS near where I live like that, red with a huge white cowl hood, air shocks and huge tires that hang out way past the quarter panel lip. I can't help but think "Is there a new trailer park nearby or something?" every time I see that thing.

No. Just say no.

If you DO put "Hi-Jackers" on your thirdgen, then you will need the supplementary 1970's pieces to go along with them. I suggest:

* Cragar S/S wheels with wide bias-ply tires
* Rear window louvers
* Dual glasspacks that hang 6" under the car
* CB radio and corresponding 10' chrome whip antenna
* Yellow-lens fog lights
* Hood cut-out with tall air cleaner poking through

That will complete the 1970's disco era transformation. Then you can hit eBay and pick up a few REO Speedwagon t-shirts to wear while driving and you're all set. My apologies to anyone running these mods.

Wow, old thread

Ya, y'all will be happy to know that my new car is in MUCH MUCH MUCH better shape than that one, and has 1.6 inch drop springs all around Full Black Interor, looks immeasurably better than my old car *that yellow one is 4 camaros ago BTW*
