Air Ride Tech is definatly the way to go. I have the level pro street challenge kit in my car and it works very well. I met the Air Ride crew at RTH3 and they are a great bunch of guys. :thumbsup:

I have installed and uninstalled Air Ride.

1947 Street Rod, used the Ride Pro E set up, one of the first person to buy the orginal set up, i hate it, never works right. I have sent hours and hours on the phone with them, they keep telling me its a ground, i rewired the hole air set up with the guy on the phones, didnt change. I have put a new black box on, never changed. Talked to the guys a NSRA and goodguys, not much help.

I have redone some stuff since this pic.

And for Darren, tony, brent if you read this, and want to try to change some stuff, feel free to send me a PM or email.

Im not tryin to start anything.

Matt, that's an awesome car. There are definitely a lot of fans of it here on the site, whether it's a 'g-machine' or not. In my opinion, if a car is cool, it's cool, regardless of build style. :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to seeing it this spring.

Thanks Scott! I have been excited for you to see it! I am tentatively planning to catch up with the Power Tour in June when it goes through southern Minnesota. Perhaps that will be a good time to connect. Also, there is an open invitation for you to come and tour our shop in Minneapolis. Let me know the next time you are in the Twin Cities!

The new "AirPod" looks very cool http://www.ridetech.com/airpod.asp

I agree with Steve, AirRide really is the way to go, and they've proved their kits on the track. We are very happy with their kit on our Chevelle. I'll also post a photo of my old Impala, which was also on air. I like it because I could run larger diameter wheels, and could set the ride height where it was best during driving, or at a show. And nothing's cooler than the right stance on an old Impala, tucking big diameter wheels!:yes:

Bad94,
I think that I know your problem with the 47. Give me a call when you have time. 812-481-4706

The Airpod looks like a nice piece!

Driverz - that Impala is INCREDIBLE!!

I appreciate hearing the Pro's and Con's of different systems, everybody!

whether you go with a control arm kit or if you use your factory arms is up to you. Out of the box the plane jane cool ride kit will do amazing things for the 58-64 cars.... gravey bolt in install too... no cutting no welding no nothing. One thing to keep in mind is that on the 58-64 X frame cars, you need to make sure that you use a four wheel independent control system. The X frame cars like to lean.........;)

posting some more air ride pics...
