87 Elky 09-20-2003, 02:25 PM Hey Guys i've got a question. I've got a 1987 El Camino, and i'd like to make it a low-rider with some airbag suspension on all 4 wheels. I cant' say that i know too much about suspensions. I guess what im asking is what should i look for. Like what are some good sites, brands, etc. Thnx 2-Elkys 09-20-2003, 04:54 PM El_Mexican.com LOL Just kidding with you... 87ElCamino 09-20-2003, 06:16 PM Welcome to ECC Darren! Take a look here. KMW Performance (http://www.kmwperformance.com/prod.asp?Make=Chevy&Model=El%20Camino&Year=1987&Category=1) :mrgreen: 87 Elky 09-20-2003, 11:26 PM well looks like i be needing some money for air suspension. would it be possible to just cut my springs to lower it til i get air-ride? how exactly would i go about doing that would ya think. thnx again. theelcaminofactory 09-21-2003, 01:06 PM How low can you go? 8) There are kits made to lower G-bodies specifically. Some of these are very good kits and are the correct way to lower your Elky...cutting your springs is not! 87ElCamino 09-21-2003, 03:58 PM I agree, cutting springs is not a recommended way to lower your Elky. You could get a set of Bell Tech drop spindles ($150) for the front. And a set of Belltech lowering springs ($132) for the rear. The spindles will drop your front about 1.5". The springs will drop the rear by about 1.5" Belltech spindles (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=BEL%2D2100) Belltech rear lowering springs (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=BEL%2D5100) :mrgreen: 87 Elky 09-21-2003, 04:44 PM well thnx guys for the tips. ill have to check into that. how hard do you think they would be to install(those belltech front and rears)? thnx again 87ElCamino 09-21-2003, 09:31 PM Rear springs are easy to do in under an hour. Spindles may take an hour apiece barring any unforseen complications (like finding a bent OEM upper ball joint that you have to grind the rivets out of in order to change it) http://elcaminocentral.com/users/elcamino/Wink.gif. A new front end alignment is necessary too. :mrgreen: 87 Elky 09-21-2003, 09:43 PM alright thnx. and those bell tech springs those are permenant there is no way of adjusting them? thnx again 87ElCamino 09-21-2003, 09:46 PM They are not designed to be adjustable. :mrgreen: baggedlco231 11-19-2003, 12:23 AM if ur looking for a good fast setup, go with a 6 gallon tank a viair compressor , 1/2" lines all around!! no reducing!! 1/2" parker gold valves rated for 300psi an adjustable psi switch 75 - 400psi and slam specialties airbags, and also quick fingers. and whatver u want to add on. 8) 8) | ||
