I had a customer bring a 65 Chevelle into my shop to fix what another shop did. He decided to just get rid of all the air ride stuff all the brakes and rear axle housing and 32 spline axles. So I'm offering a package deal of Everything for one price.

Ridetech - front suspension with sway bar and Shockwaves
- Rear suspension with sway bar and Shockwaves
- Complete air ride controller with 2 compressors and 5 gallon tank
CPP 12 or 13 inch disc brake kit with e brake in the rear

Currie 9" axle housing with 31 spline axles. It has been narrowed to fit a narrowed rear clip. We installed these parts on an old unmodified chassis since the old chassis was JUNK...

3000 bucks for everything. These parts have 1500 miles on them since new. They look dirty because the car leaked alot of oil from the improperly installed intake manifold.

Are the A-arms the ridetech strongarms? And would you be willing to seperate the kit?

I have had some offers for different parts. If I could make these parts go away, even to different homes and I get the same money that's fine.

Let me know what you want.

I am running the cool ride setup on my 64 chevelle and I want to change the front for a little more performance. I would need all the front end parts a-arms,airsprings,spindles,calipers and rotors. I have also considered moving away from airride like the customer you are doing the work for. What was the reason he wanted to remove this setup?

The customer wanted to remove the air ride stuff because the install was an absolute joke. If it would have been installed "properly" with common sense it would have worked fine. The chassis that this suspension came off of was broke in 5 place from very poor fabrication and the install of every other item these guys installed was "JUNK". The air ride system is a great product and will work great if installed correctly. It needs to wired correctly, it needs to be plumbed correctly and not Leak. Plus the suspension needs to bolted down tight.

We are now building a chassis from scratch for this customer to be able to accomplish the goals he originally wanted, but his first builder was unable to achieve.

I know what you mean. I have replaced 3 bags on my chevelle due to a poor installation and I can't figure out why my digital read out is always fluctuating and never gives me an accurate psi read out. This is part of my frustration as to why i was thinking of doing away with whole air ride. I have looked into the DSE, SC&C, Hotchkis, and GlobalWest front kits but dont have the funds to buy new at this time. If you can seperate how much would you need to part out the front suspension and brakes? BTW the frame looks awsome that you are building for that chevelle!

Here is the car it will be installed on if we can work out a deal. It currently has the cool ride setup by ridetech and i figure if i was to go with the shockwaves and strongarms it is a much better setup for driving the car. Let me know if you can make this happen!

I might be interested in the air system - compressors, tanks, controls, sensors.
