We will be running an AirLift kit on our Camaro. They are extremely comfortable, especially for long road trips.

They have 25-way adjustable dampening and can be dialed in nicely for road-course use.

It's essentially like having all the benefits of a coilover setup, with the ability to raise and lower it for any situation.

Easily one of my favorite mods on our S550 Mustang

I want this mod ASAP.

Having never done this mod...can anyone tell me how difficult install is? Can it be done in a driveway.

It could be done in a driveway, but it takes at least 8-12 hours easily.

Thank you for the info. Is it a one man operation or would help be advised?

I'd definitely recommend having a spare set of hands

After installing my first set of coilovers and if I ever want to adjust the rears I have to completely take out the springs everytime I would buy this in a heartbeat... I am in as soon as its released.

Diode you seem to know quite a bit about it you said 8-12 hours is the wiring what takes the longest ?

The coilover install is the same as any other setup, you can adjust your dampening after install by rotating the tuning knobs.

The wiring and airline plumbing takes the longest. If you are a perfectionist, or building a car for SEMA, this is where you'll spend the most time.

Some people get really crazy with it and buy hardlines, etc etc.

We just utilize the included components, installed it cleanly to a point where everything is hidden but the tank and Viair compressors.

Yeah thats what I figured - Forgive me when I meant adjusting I meant adjusting the height not the dampening. For the camaro the rears you can only adjust the height by removing the spring.

I have done alot of car audio wiring in my time so don't think it would be too bad.

You can adjust the collars on the coilovers as well, we choose to leave them at the lowest setting lol.

If you wanted to adjust the coilovers to a normal ride height when it's aired out, you totally could.

Thank you! We worked extremely hard on this build to get it unveiled and it turned out perfect.

I wanted bags on my Camaro but being that no one has done it in my area I'm skeptical of being the first.

I've already ditched the air suspension idea. Don't get me wrong, it looks dope but for my car being my DD, I wouldn't risk it. I'm ganna go with coilovers and air cups so I can lift the front end whenever I need some clearance
