Default Air ride

Does anybody on here have air bags or shocks on a 6th gen mc? I was contemplating on saving up for one, a friend of mine had it on a 3rd gen camaro and the performance gains were pretty good and the ride was sooooo smooth.

Idk how many here have it, but I say go for it. Ive been thinking about it, I mean look at the gains. As low as you want, and you can raise for parking and speedbumps.

yeah i found some nice kits on www.streetbeatcustoms.com, but its 1999.98 +99.xx for shipping. Its the AOS air over sturts it looks like a really nice kit.

i am lookin at buying that kit for my 5th gen i think it would look hot on then 16s slammed and a lower profile tire of course

i was gonna post a thread about bags and seeing if anyone had them

now i want them for another reason rather than performance i've always wanted a car with switches, not a truck, but a car, and with what i've done to mine so far, it would look badass

i know most people on this site would gasp at the fact that i wanna lay frame and tuck wheels, but mine's not an SS so i didnt do performance to it, i guess i just wanna hit switches cause i'm mexican, its in my blood

layin frame and tuckin wheels isnt a bad thing as long as you get rims in a decent size. Just know that its gonna take a lot of work to lay frame, a lot more than a truck. The biggest rims Ive seen on a MC with air ride was 24's but it wasnt tubbed or anything so it didnt lay frame.

yeah i got 20's on mine so its not gonna be TOO hard to lay frame

i got 20 inch helo 357 blades, pics in the new member section, i gotta figure out how to put pics in my profile or photo book thing

anything bigger than 22's on a MC is just tacky looking imo, not on other cars tho, but on the MC you gotta try to maintain the sporty look along with luxury

i want a 08 escalade ext bagged all the way around on 1/2 lines, on 24 inch 84 swangaz with the yellow line vogues

sadly no, the money I had put aside for that got spent on fixing a blown headgasket smh . I did however find somebody who knew a lot about installing air ride on cars, what questions did you have I can pass them along and get some answers for you.
