Little update. Air ride suspension is almost finished. Took some pics of the new ride height. Im still waiting on the rear end to finish the rear.
More to come soon. Stay tuned!

Curious about your power steering set up, did you retain the factory 3rd Gen steering box? If so, what did you do for lines? And are there any issues with the compatibility of the LS pump and the 3rd Gen box?
Awesome, good info right there. I know you went a different route due to the air ride suspension... but is there any aftermarket tubular K that will allow you to use the factory springs and a-arms?

Very nice! I've got an '89 RS convertible with a LS1/T56 swap and did some similar things you have. You would be amazed how much fourth gen stuff will fit nicely in a third gen.
