Re: Air Ride Suspension

I've been looking for info on this subject too. Was holding off on replacing shocks and struts on my 87 Iroc. To see if I could find the air ride system.

Air Ride Technologies sells the kit.

Finetunedz28, you will still have to use "regular" shocks and struts. The Air ride kit only replaces the coil springs. I suggest Koni Yellows.

Re: Air Ride Suspension

what's the ride like? Do you feel a real difference? Is Ride Tech the only maker? I only notice articles fitting air on 1 st gens and 4th gens and never on 3rd gens...is there a reason? Does it not work as well on our cars?

I believe there are a few companies that make actual "bolt on" kits for our cars....although...I've known a few guys to actually fabricate a kit from scratch...which wouldn't be that hard. The reason I went with Air Ride Technologes is because it's a popular company, I like what they had to offer, and I've talked to a few guys on here that have kits/products made by Air Ride Technologies and were very happy with the results. As far as the ride....no matter what you do...these cars ride rough...it's no caddy. But I can tell a difference from springs to bags. Then again, mine isn't a daily driver....
