So...about $2500.00 later....the Air Ride Install has finally started. The rear is done....and tomorrow, the front should be done, as long as we are on schedule. So...we should have the car on the ground tomorrow. The most time consuming part will be hiding all of the wiring that is involved. But, the best part about it is that it is a plug and play system. Pictures should be up this week. I'll keep everyone posted

 

Good luck finishing it up, i remeber when you were thinking about doing it. Take alot of pics, and let us know everthin

btw you still got that diagram on how to hook up an unde-hood light to your ss hood?

anways back on topic cant wait to see!

 

Cool, what kit did you use, or did you have to buy the parts seperate?

 

nice man, i cant wait to see it.

btw did you make a thread about being in the World of Wheels show? i want to tell all the skeptics here that the 18/20 combo looks really good.

 

sweet cant wait for the pics

 

awesome man, i cant wait to see the stance of you Z man. post lots of pics i really want to see this with the 18/20 combo. Is there a chance that when the car is lowered that i will rub/sit on the tires? just wondering. -Matt

 

I went to the world of wheels for the past 3 years and it's awesome, but the only thirdgen I saw last year was a maroon Firebird, I'd love to see more this year

I definitely wanna see the 18/20 as well.

 

I went with the "Cool Ride" Kit....which I'm VERY pleased with. The front bags should be done tonight. I did roll the rear lip...which helped alot with clearance issues. I think it'll be fiiiiiiine

 

Good stuff Shawn, can't wait to see some pics.

 

Shawn! Cant wait to see those pics, I just need my air lines routed. Everything "hardware" is hooked up.

 

Man, can't wait to see it! Pics fast.

 

I thought that you were having this done at some custom shop locally, and were not going to use the ART kit? Why did you go back to ART for this?? Some unknown benifit we don't know about?

 

His partner....was going to custom make brackets and everything. They ended up splitting the business because he was being a total jerk. So...I had no choice but to you the ART system....which I don't regret at all. Pricey? Yes.....but you get what you pay for.

 

ok, the front and rear suspension parts are in! Still alot of plumbing and wiring. But we did do a test run with his air compressor...so far..so good. You can go here: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=1496741

to view some of the pictures. I'll have alot more pictures coming. This is a totally digital system...so there is still alot that has to be done.

 

Looking Good

 

any way that we can view it if we dont have myspace?

 

is the link working? You should be able to few the pictures even if you don't have an account on myspace.

 

Nop, cant see nothing
Post the video on youtube.com or something similar

 

lookin very good man. post a vid when you get it done!

 

I want to see these pics!!

 

I thikn I might jsut let you guys wait..

Here is a teaser picture of the front..I'll probably be getting rid of the wheels this spring...going with probably BOZE or Budnick...

 

wow already gonna get rid of the rims? how come man they are still so new!!! lol

 

these were almost more of a "trial" to see if I would like a bigger wheel on the car....and I love it. Probably go with a 19/20 combo for the next set. Especially with the air ride...you can get so many looks out of the stance it's insane

 

well i loved the look but i really liked the TT2s but thats just me. Good luck and keep us posted. -Matt

 

here is a short video. We manually shot air into it....then let the air out. We still have all the pluming to do and the wiring. Also, we have to remove the rear bump stops....probably get another inch or so lower in the back..

Nice work Shawn!

 

Yeah you need to let the 20" go! I would go with a 19/18 combo if you still want the big look.


Do you know the dia. size of the wheels? So people with a 27" tire can get a idea of the differance.

I would guess to don't drag race at all? I was wondering how the bags would be.

 

Shawn let me know if your gonna sell yuor rims & how much?

 

i think the 19/20 combo looks killer...its going on my vert

also...get a photobucket account for pictures and such...Its free...you can't view those w/o a myspace profile.

 

alright, the computer is in, it's wired and it's plumbed. It's working perfect. All is left is to hide some air lines..and re-install most of the interior. I would post pictures.....but the pictures look horrible. They were taken in the garage..and it's hard to see much..

 

Subscribing for pictures!

You really need to get some bigger brakes! Those dinky stockers don't look good behind those 18"s in the front.

 

Are you using sub-frame conn.?

 

Subframes are up next...as for brakes I agree....I need to let the bank account build some before I get brakes. It's been so cold here....we haven't be able to make it to the garage yet...hopefully, the temps will break some and we can get it completely done and get some pictures up for you guys.

 

i cant wait for pics. And with those big rims i think some c6 zo6 brakes are the ticket.

 

Yes more pics!!!

 

Shawn stance looks killer....can't wait to see it out in the open!

 

some tease of the rear....we still have to either cut or remove the bump stops completely....depends how the exhaust is going to work out....




I'm glad I rolled the lips a little....because when it's on the ground...the tires probably would have touched a little. Still kind of hard to see it...since it's in such a tight area...

 

:drools:

 

:splooge:

 

lol splooge

 

looks nice

 

Man except for ditching the TTIIs your car just keeps getting better and better

 

this is where I decided to mount the control panel:

 

No A/C or heat?

 

thats what i was about to ask

 

Show cars/sports cars don't need no stinkin heat/ac.

 

Where did you get your set-up?! I’m seriously looking into bagging my 92 and I don’t have a clue where to start buying and what exactly to look for when buying.

Oh and can you take photos of where you mounted your tank and compressor and all that junk?

 

who needs it? I don't use the AC....and I don't need the heat...it's not driven in the winter
----------
removed the rear bump stops....even looooower

 

It depends what route you want to go. You can order the Ride Pro E Compressor kit through Jegs for about $1500....then you have to buy the bags.....and the mounts..which is another $700.00 or so. I kind of went over and beyond and bought alot of extra's....that I felt were much needed. I bought 2 manifolds along with regulators so I can adjust how fast and slow it goes up and down...also some more misc parts. I'll have about 3 grand in the air ride....but it's the best of the best...when it comes to the parts. Me and a guy I work with installed it. I've got one bag leaking down some...so we are going to find the leak before I bring the car back home. Here is where I mounted pretty much everything....



and we mounted the compressor on the other side where the rear glove box is located...perfect location
