Air Ride

[DriverzInc]

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!

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.........

I have to agree although I have not purchased my air ride kit yet the guys over there are nothing but top notch when it comes to answering questions and offering up great suggestions,they are in the process of developing a kit for the 67-70 Impala it is up on their rack right now. I am pretty excited although I have not rode in an air ride car people that I have spoken to have nothing but great things to say, I will agree that faulty installation is the common denominator to problematic issues. I HAVE A 69 CAPRICE THAT IS AWAITING ONE OF THEIR SYSTEMS (oops sorry for the yellin just so damn excited, plus I have speed dependent volumn on my MAC ). Although you can find lesser systems out there the old addage of "you get what you pay for" is pretty evident. The guys at ART are

wow. a couple of years ago this would have been a very short thread that dismissed air suspension altogether. Looks like people have been paying attention to our fun at the track. From all of us that get to go to "work" at Air Ride Technologies...thank you!
BTW...you have only seen the beginning.

that is great news, i have a 70 impala and want to do airride, and was looking at doing the cool ride system maybe next summer but if they do the full on kit with control arms etc i may have to go that route, do you know if they are doing the control arms and everything for these cars?

We are working on the arms for the 65-70 Impala right now. I'll post some pics as soon as the design is finalized.

Tony - Thanks for the info! Could you educate me a little bit regarding the four wheel independant control system and how that would be a benefit? I figured as long as I could dump the front, then the rear independently, that would suffice. Now you have my technical curiosities flowing!!!
