Suspension

I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to put a corvette racing suspension on a camaro with out to much fabracation, also does anyone know if they make a corvette racing suspension with air bags? i will need to lift it up a lil bit in the winter time (when it snows).

lol, the idea here is, a stock corvette suspension can take turns nicely, a corvette racing suspension has to be able to let you take a 35mph off ramp at about 110+. lol, i gotta show rice boy his car isnt as badass as he thinks it is, even trought turns.

Re: Suspension

Re: Suspension

chevy magazine put out a magazine on a air bag based suspension system that seems to really work. They tested it on a 4th gen and an old gto and some other cars. They ran the cars with the stock suspension on a track first and then quickly swapped out for the air bag system and they did very well. So there are systems out there that will allow for that. They will probbably ride like a gokart and empty whatever bank account you have now but they will do the job.

Re: Suspension

true, but when it does snow, i need to get the car up so i dont drag my front end trough the snow, i dont wanna have to do it every year becasue most of the time if it snows its just enough to turn the ground white, but that one time i dont have my suspension raised up it will snow 4inches and then my car will be stuck... so rather then having to raise and lower it every year i can just fill the air bags it when it needs to be raised.
