Re: Air ride on sad pimped 92 Astro!!

What do you use to cut your sheet metal Andy, I was just curious....? Hi Darren. I use an airsaw mostly. Very good and very fast, and no distortion. Sometimes I use a nibbler (not air or powered). In fact if you can find the photo on this thread of myself cutting the passenger wheel arch out, you c...

Re: i want AIR!

Air suspension is NEVER Cheap.... got a spare $1K + to spend? plus an extra $2+k in back-up for extra mods? or can you weld and fabricate your own mods?

Re: Air ride on sad pimped 92 Astro!!

Okay, the passenger side has been a bit more of a challenge! The AC/fan box in the engine bay is tight to say the least. Even after chopping the box the maximum amount it still jutted into the under wing area. So I am going to have to make do with a bulge :wtf1: Luckily it is further inboard than it...

Re: project ratstro

Can you take a pic of how you have mounted the front of the 4 link bars? What are you going to use for air supply and management? I plan to use a nitogen cyli...

Re: Air ride on sad pimped 92 Astro!!

Nice one. What are you using for air supply and management? Air line size? I've got an air ride 86 camaro that uses a single compressor and smallish tank controlled by the auto pilot digital management system. Only using 1/4" lines though. I'm seriously thinking of using a nitrogen cylinder for...
