This summer I'll be finishing the frame and suspension to my car. So far I've relocated the upper a-arms an inch down, added front disc brakes, subframe connectors, and a front 1" sway bar.

Now I need to tackle the springs. I was considering an AIR Ride or similar suspension because it looks like I could do that for the same price as new springs all the way around. AIR-over-leaf universal bolt-on kit for the rears ($230) and coil-rite kit for fronts ($80, and would have to relocate shocks), plus compressor and lines ($250)...Okay, mabye $560 is more than new coils and leafs, but they wouldn't allow variation in stiffness or ride height. What do you think about air suspensions? about this setup? suggestions are needed and appreciated, thanks!

sry, meant to post this in classic tech, o well

sounds great

I really like that idea because i want to do the same thing. It also sounds cheaper than the air ride bar in the rear and the ones that sell up front.
what company were you getting your price quotes from.
