Air Ride

whats the best bang for the buck Air Ride set up ?

Just want to lay the car down at shows and what not

Depends on what your willing to put up with. What I mean is most kits are an airbag in place of the spring, this means a shock can't go there. So the shock is mounted on the outside. It works, but you lose a fair amount of turning radius. The only other choice is the RideTech system which is VERY nice, but costs some $$$

If you want it to handle, it will cost. If you want it to drive well, it will cost. If you want to hard park, it can be cheap.

Best bang for your buck is Ebay but the longevity won't be there in the unit, when I bought mine it laid frame with a manual setup that leaked pretty good. Was good quality pieces with VI Air compressors and Air Lift bags which I would have probably been smarter to keep and get rid of the leaks. Then just find a digital controller for it, but I decided to go all new with Ridetech which was very pricey. I also stopped laying frame which I did like it going that low but know there was stuff done to make it do that weren't good for the car

There's a company here in Mesa, AZ called AirSlamIt. They have kits for trucks but may have a set up that will work for Gbody's. 480-999-1232

Um bags are for groceries....lol...juice it.

Just kidding. Hit up Switch Suspension in AZ or Hoppos Custom Suspension in Cali. They can get you squared away. And IMO please stay away from Ebay kits...do it right the first time or do not do it at all...remember if a bag, line, valve fails due to being garbage...you will have a direct impact to your suspension and the ability to get your ride home...
If you spend the money and do it right the first time...it will save you money and hassle down the road.

I speak from experience with many cars with "adjustable" suspension in my past and current. Lol.

I had a 94 Accord on 18's with hydraulics that I had set up to lay unibody in the early 2000s. Looked super sick....but was one of my first cars I juiced and quickly found out trying to cut corners left me screwed. Not even able to be towed home as I couldnt get the car off the ground lol...long night of repairs in a dark parking lot...in the ghetto...lol.

Now my Cutty, did right from the start...lots of experience after juicing many cars...and knock on wood..been blessed..been juiced almost 7 years and not a single issue....quality parts+proper smart installation =enjoyment and longevity. 🏆🏆🏁🏁
