We just did an Cool Ride by Air Ride Tech into a 70 Chevelle. If you are looking for great handling and easy install, look else where.
If you want a car you can slam down, and look cool while cruising the streets, it might be right up your alley.
A handling suspension it is not.

I have my doubts about the Shockwaves too. I just feel that air bags = sloppy handling. Looking through the brochure, you can see nearly every car on the track days have bad body roll. I don't see it as a true perormance option for track cars, or serious minded street cars, no matter how much marketing they dump on me.

This is not to be confused with thier shockwave system.. which is still tricky to install but better handling..

Their standard bag system is definetly more for cruising and "laying frame"...
