Default ? about Shockwaves and Wayne Due

I've got a Wayne Due subframe w/the c-4 front suspension on my 68 firebird with QA-1's and getting ready to purchase airrides skw1000's with the double eyes. My question is, has anyone with or built a car with this set up had the shockwaves. Was there enough room for the bags 6.5" diameter w/o modificatons? Would like to here your responses soon if possible. Thanks in advance.

The folks at Art Morrison have done shockwaves with their subframe, which, for the purposes of this discussion, shares the same geometry as the Wayne Due sub, from which it is derived. Frank Serafine (Prodigy Customs) is an Art Morrison Dealer and can probably help you figure out exactly what you need.

I know this was not your question but is your car done? If you have something, why do you want to change it? Just dont understand why you want to buy something when you already have what you need...

We had to mount the bags upside down to clear the frame rails.

If you have not firgured this out I have this same set up in a 69 Camaro with Air and can post a pic for you to see, it works but you have to modify the upper mount to fit the Shockwave. very easy to do
