Project "ObseSSed"
Oh yeah, have you considered writing up a "air ride for begginners" thread? No one here seems to know much at all about the parts needed or how all this air ride stuff works. I think I may write one up, but I'm far from experienced.

Are you driving it yet Kenny?
Got a question for you. Why didn't you use a sleeved bag in the back? They are supposed to ride softer which I thought these cars need.
BTW, I know your probably done with your rear axle, but I plan to use a Ford Thunderbird IRS in my car. You don't have to mod the trans tunnel or the gas tank to fit it. It's also easy to narrow and not that hard to fit (from all my measuring). Just thought I'd put that out there.

i was the sleeve bag would ride a lil better
they would have been a lil tall
and the rear end move forward and back a little as the car raise up and down
i have a complete C4 rear end if u would like it
I have no interest whatsoever in a C4 rear end. Thanks though.
The pics from above looks like you drove to a show or something so I wasn't sure if you put the engine in it yet.
So the sleeve bag was just too tall for your car?
How would you compare the ride between the sleeve and the double folded type? Just a small difference?

There may be a reason for that. How does air ride affect launch, track times, weight, budget...etc? Basically besides feeling good what is the performance gain?
I would not expect to see a performance gain from anything in the Appearance and Detailing section.

That all sounds like drag racing stuff and this is not the drag racing section. This is about the ONLY way you can have an adjustable ride height. The only other choice is hydraulics and it's way more complicated and expensive.

You make it sound as though the drag/performance sections and the appearance section are 2 completely different groups of people that can not cross.....Lets face it, the vast majority of people in this forum are performance freaks. Like myself. And what is it that they are improving the appearance of??? What is it these people are detailing? Their Performance oriented cars. Hence something that hinders that performance will not win or go over well with the vast majority of people here, regardless in what section its posted in.
Which raises the question, why hurt the performance on an Fbody (which in some way I suspect it does) by putting air/hydrolic or whatever , suspension system on it? Actually why put anything that hurts performance on any performance oriented car? That makes about as much sense as rubbing your a$$ and nuts in honey and then jumping into the bear exibit at the zoo. But hey it's a free country...

I just hope you dont plan on taking it to the track since your shaved the handles it most likely wont pass tech (safety issue)
also have you considered going with a CME?

You can and did, but your opinion about my opinions is the minority on this site. For every 1 person that does this mod I can easily show you 10+ that won't. Actually to make my "opinionated" statements into fact, all I need is to show you is 2 that won't do it to your 1 that will. And you don't think those minimal odds exist here? Facts are not argueable nor can they be disputed because in the end your still left with the same truth. Aside from the "zoo" comment, point out what is opinion from fact in my comments. Better yet just poll it.
Would you place a mod on your car that would significantly hinder performance, such as HP, TQ, handling ...etc.... yes no ? and you'll get your "opinions".

Obiviously you haven't been around some "Vatos" and their lowriders. Which is basically what that is minus the picture of the virgin mary sprayed on your hood, some dice and your name in old english letters on the back windshield. 
All joking aside, being in Texas that type of "style" is very popular across the border states. Alot of times you see them even without wanting to. I have seen many car and trucks like the ones you have posted on your page. Pretty much all are LoLo's and have alot of money (drug money of course) put into them. When you see the people who own these cars and those who like to see them, hang around with them..whatever.....they are all very mucho ghetto....hence my comment.

How would you feel if someone said 17" rims and dual exhaust tips are for V8 cars only, not wimpy V6's? Those parts should not be wasted on a V6.
First of all it's just an opinion, but it's also a hateful opinion. If you like those things, then that's all that matters. There's no need to go around spreading hate.

21 years old" on their myspace site. and you call us the dumbasses.
That must be one fast mildly moddifed camaro you got there! I know, I already said that
Like I said before the car can look nice and wouldnt mind giving you some suggestions. Its your car and you can do anything you want to it. I just think that it would look much better without the ground effects, 20' rims and smoked tail lights. I understand its a show car but if your going to do it big with 20's I would go all out and get some HRE or iforged wheels with a fat lip.
I give you credit for being different though
Still plan on painting it the same color as my pearl white 98 SS or gunmetal?
