ART has the most expensive kit out there. Have you seen my budget install?

I made my own brackets, but you can duplicate them or have someone you know make them or maybe even get me to make you the parts you need.

The front looks a bit more complicated and time consuming..

Right now I'm trying to streamline the fab process to use the Aero Sports on the front. I'd like to make a somewhat universal kit due to all the different shocks out there. I'd like to make the pipe for the lower mount extra long so the customer can cut it to the right length for their particular brand of shock. The one problem I have is making the part that fits over the snap ring.
On my car, I cut and welded the pipe to a smaller diameter and then had a notch machined into the end. If I did that much work for everyone the price would be pretty high, plus I may not have the time to do that much work anyway.
I could save a lot of money by having the user cut the pipe to the right length and then take it and their old spring perch to the local muffler shop and have them weld the 2 together. It would need to be welded all the way around where the arrow is pointing.
Is that expecting too much labor for the end user to do?
Another thought would be to add a donut plate and have the pipe welded to it. That way you don't alter the stock perch should you want to use it for something else.
I'll keep working on it.

If you get those brackets going, let me know, I'd buy some from you. Hell, you're local.
I remember Air Lift used to carry universal air over shocks/struts from Universal Air. You were able to adapt those to any car with strut or coilover setup with a little modification. Not sure why they don't carry them anymore. Anyway, they were not that cheap (like $500 a pair). I was looking at Air ride's front kit for camaros. They're now 1k (eeek)...

Magnesium wouldn't spark the best. Go with some titanium drag blocks. It looks bad *** and I like it. Got a little mini trucker in you? I still mess around with trucks. Mine got stolen and haven't done anything after that. As soon as I get situated with my life I'm going back for another s-10. Gonna be dope and keep up the good work. It looks good.
and i had titanium on it b4 the rebag
Awesome custom work. Your camaro looks ****. I have a bagged silverado (01) and I'd also like to bag my camaro. I'd like to keep it simple, though (since I don't have the skill, money, or time to do this kind of work). I'd like to try the Air Ride Technologies kit.
thanks
but i do have planes 2 change them up
i have the RKsport front piece and im going 2 cut the center out of the rear piece
