Air suspension

What brand is recommended for camaros? I don't run it at a track just street driving and want a good ride with adjustability and be able to slam it.

AirRex for sure is going to be an option to consider. Pictured below is the AirREX Digital Air Management System. This system is fully assembled and leak tested, within a 30"x12"x10.5" composite wood enclosure, pre-set up, ready for installation. The kit includes a 2.4GHz wireless remote control with three presets. Within the enclosure is a Viair 380C Compressor, which is capable of up to 205PSI. Attached to the compressor is a 3 gallon stainless steel air tank. Also included is a USB cable, power wire kit, and cig lighter adapter. The below picture is the complete system with air struts and air management.





Product Info
Air Struts have a complete bolt on design, and have a 12 click adjustable monotube damper
Allow for a 3-5" drop, depending on your application
Synthetic Rubber Air Springs
Fully Threaded Damper for an additional 2" of static travel
Spanner Wrench Included
1/4" Compression Fittings

Airlift is the way to go. 30 way adjustable dampers... the v2 system is crazy good. I have had airlift for about 4 k miles now and I'll never look back. My car sits on the tires on the front when it's slammed. I need smaller tires. Lol.

Yes you can do FBSS with the Air Lift kit, you also have the option of using 8 different presets that you can choose. I have seen people running 24"s on the Air Lift kit.

I shouldn't have to remove the fender liners or roll the fenders though, right?

The Shockwave install (patented air spring and shock combination) is just as simple as any coil over install. . . unbolt the OE struts, bolt in the new Shockwaves.

When you use the AirPod compressor system install is as easy as connecting power, ground and ignition wires, and plugging in the air lines.

You can see it all here:

Remember, these are the Fox Racing Shox based dampers which carry a 1,000,001 mile warranty.

If you have any mechanical skills at all you can install a kit in about 8 hours on jackstands with hand tools. Most everything bolts right in.
