air ride question

[lowolds1]

so ive looked up other threads about air ride but i was wondering if i was to buy a kit for a cavi would it bolt up?...i dont mind custom work i has a s10 before i got my alero that had shaved gate, custom roll pan, and had 5/6 drop but for air ride id feel safer bolting it on

[Ttop191]

no a cavi is a j-body, they are not compatible

compatible vehicles are the grand am and the malibu

[lowolds1]

do you know anywhere that sells a decent kit for them such as suicidedoors.com and also can i see some pictures of bagged aleros?...if you want whore it up with pictures

[Ttop191]

[lowolds1]

[Ttop191]

AED, it was discontinued, and near impossible to find...

[lowolds1]

oh that sucks :( they should start re making it...looks very agressive and good

[JoshGentry]

You should definitely jump on riceburner2006's air kit. Amazing deal!

Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned the other two I know ... Don't remember screennames though ... An orange (actually think it was callled Tangelo) and then a red / grey two tone.

[lowolds1]

what kits does everyone have? and if i had the $ right now id be allover it but i dont :( and does an alero fully lay out with just bags or do you have to do mods...like i know with my truck you had to c notch the frame

[Redog]

The set-up I had for my air horn was a 5 gallon tank with a 280c Viair compressor. That could power an air ride for an Alero no problem, althought I think some guys had 2 280c's

I still have the 280c but a 4 gallon pancake tank tucked away for more trunk space ;)

[Ttop191]

A stock alero won't lie flat out...however I do believe if you've got the AED or AAS kit it will

[FrankTheTank]

i had hydraulics on mine. with 225/40/18 tires they were rubbing on the wheel-wells when it was lay'd out.

1 compressor is really not enough for any air ride setup, unless you do not touch the switches at all. your compressor would most likely overheat before it filled a 5gal tank from 0psi to 160+ PSI

This. I run two 480's with a 5 gallon tank on my Tacoma and that takes about 4ish minutes to fill up to 157 psi from dead empty.

[lowolds1]

i didnt mean looks as in lay flat out but as in pinch weld/unibody laidout

Oh, OK. The guy that sold it to me said it could power an air ride for the Alero. I bought my set-up from Forbidden Kustoms and they did Joel's car, so that's where I got my info from ;)

[Gr1m]

it could power an air ride, but it would be unrealistic. i have 2 viar 380c's and it takes a long time to fill the tank, although i have a 185psi switch.

[FrankTheTank]

viair 380 = super slow. upgrade to some 480s and you'll be way happier.

[Gr1m]

yea i bought that setup years ago when the 480c were ridiculously priced

[bdyman]

i have the easy street struts, with air ride tech compressor system

Me too ... But I have the new Digital system and only the 3gal tank.

[clutch1]

I got a pair of 380s if anyone wants to buy em, lol.

[JoshGentry]

Just throwin in my two cents. I have one compressor. Snagged it from a transfer truck. It does just fine. Playing with the switches in public only make you look like a showoff. Just my opinion. lol.
