Pic Request: Ride height sensors

[Powhusku]

Cant find any pictures of 5th gen camaros with them installed. I bought a sensor setup from ridetech but their system as well as it's instructions seem to be universal and figuring out how to mount them seems to be left up to the user.

Anyone that has installed them or has pics of them installed, please chime in!

We decided to wing it, so here's the pictures of where they're now installed on my car for future reference to anyone else that wants to do this. The fronts are mounted to the chassis behind the strut and connect to the lower control arm because it only moves vertically as it isnt part of the steering. The rears are mounted to the trailing arm mount of the rear cradle, and connect to the trailing arm. The ride height sensors are sold by Ridetech.

I'm confused are you on air ride if not I'm not understanding why you need these sorry for the confusion!

Yes, I have air suspension.

Very nice looking sensor install.

Still trying to work this out before I give up, we tried moving the sensor arm out further on the trailing arm and got a bit more movement out of them, but still less than the minimum requirement of 1v. I've messaged ridetech and will call if necessary since they have them on a camaro package on their website.

Thanks, just wish it worked!

If you need 1.0v, how much rotation at the sensor pivot is required?

Perhaps you could redrill the end hole for the link to be closer to the sensor pivot and then move the whole sensor closer to the link in order to keep it vertical. That would give you more rotation which I'm assuming translates to a greater voltage change.

Of course, you'd need to be mindful of how much total travel you'd need, which comes back to how far out on the control arm/link that end of the sensor's link attaches and how much suspension travel must be accommodated.
