Bagging The Maro

ok guys I am looking to put an air suspension on my 1997 camaro..

just looking for tips and tricks

any known kits or so on?

only one i know of it the KMWPerformance kit. Please help me out

I want an electronic kit not manual. Doesnt need F,B,S,S just up and down.
From what I have looked at I need air cylinders up front and bags in the back. I want to keep my handling, although I know with bags I will loose all of my acceleration due to the rear end dropping during hard acceleration with bags.

help me out guys

even though you do not want fbss movements, it is still a good idea to use fbss valving to help eliminate weight transfer, especially since you stated your desire to retain your handling to a degree.
I honestly do not think that the bags in the rear will affect your traction. There is a bad ass 62 chevy with a dual turbo'd enging producing approximately 1200 HP, and it has bags on all 4 corners.
With cylinders, you may want to install an accumulator inline, to help with the ride comfort, I've heard cylinders ride especially rough, but cannot confirm this firsthand.
I know space is going to be somewhat of a problem in the Camaro, so I'd go with the air ride technologies "Big Red" valves, if you dont mind paying too much for stuff. theyre really compact.
I dont know of any kits, but if you find some, post them up if you want some feedback as to the componentry, etc..

Ok I know that a lot of people are gonna hate me for this but, AIR SUSPENSION SUCKS! I have a 1993 civic with about $3000 invested on suspension and I hate it! It's nice cuz when I pull in front of the club and drop that shit people are like "WTF!?!? How can it be this low???" That is great, but you will loose handling, loose confort, and you will have the risk of stuff failing durring a nice drive. I have Parker valves ( doesn't get better then these ) and I've had problems twice with it. Once the valve popped open and my front left cylinder droped. I had AAA town me. the second time the valve wouldnt f*ckin open. So if you want to have a show car, it a awsome mod, but not for a dayly drive car.

never had a problem with mine.
alot of times it comes down to the installer, or the end user even.
if you had juice, you'd be saying how bad it sucks, how a solenoid stuck on, or the pump burned up, etc,...

anytime you modify something on a vehicle, you have to expect some problems, thats just how it is.

so go sell your air, get some juice, and post back in 3 months letting us know what you think.

good day sir.
