Air ride suspension...

    I contacted Air Ride Technologies about putting an air ride suspension in my car (70 LeSabre). They said that as they've never done that car before, and don't know the suspension setup for it, they don't know what it would need. I suggested that a 70 Catalina might have a similar suspension, in which case they have a kit, but I don't know if it's the same.

    Has anyone put in one of their kits?

    For that matter, does anyone have a pic or know the layout of a 70 Catalina, or a 70 full sized Chevy? Or, conversly, does anyone know if the 70 full sized Buicks shared a suspension design with any other years of GM cars?

    thanks!

    check out the feb. 2005 popular hot roding mag, there is a 1970 gsx with air ride, the man who built it name is bret voelkel he had a custom air ride package put im his gsx, call air ride and ask about him or his gsx, and see what u can find out.

    I have just become an authorized dealer for Air Ride Tech.....I have 2 complete systems to put on: a 67 Camaro and a 55 Chevy. It will take a little while for us to get up to speed on All they offer.

    They have a kit for the a-body cars already, but my car (b-body) has a totally different front suspension...the rear is about the same though. I talked to them, and they kinda just said that, yeah, maybe a 70 Catalina's kit would work, but they don't really know. I think I'm going to have to call them and get into a long talk with them to really figure it out. Too bad they weren't closer to Chicago, or I could just go down there. I was just hoping somebody had put an air ride system on a car similar to mine. thanks!
