New from Air Ride
« on: February 13, 2006 - 01:59:19 PM »
   
Air Ride Technologies
 

 
Air Ride Technologies introduces new products for 2006!
 
   
68-70 B Body & 70-74 E-Body Mopar Shockwave Tubular Arm 68-70 B Body & 70-74 E-Body Mopar Airbar
   

 
 
   
Air Ride Technologies introduces the first aftermarket air suspension specifically developed for Mopar muscle cars.

The new front Shockwave and StrongArmTM kit is a bolt on replacement of the existing upper control arm and shock. The Shockwave is a modular airspring and 16 position adjustable billet shock combination (also available with double adjustable shocks). The Shockwave bolts into the original shock mounting location on the factory lower control arm and frame. Your Mopar will be lowered approximately 2.5" at ride height and can be deflated 3" from ride height for that ultimate low stance!

The new StrongArmTM /Shockwave system dramatically improves the ride quality and handling of your classic Mopar without the need of extensive modifications.

The StrongArmTM /Shockwave combo makes a perfect match for the newly released AirBar bolt on four link system for the Mopars. Now your Mopar can enjoy hardcore performance... ultimate ride quality... and cool, low stance in one bolt on package!
 The Mopars have never been hotter and they're becoming increasingly popular to modify, especially by the top builders! After the initial release of the popular muscle car AirBar product line, Air Ride Technologies was continually receiving requests from Mopar enthusiasts to develop a dedicated line of BOLT-ON 4 link suspension systems for their applications.
This new AirBar is a true bolt-on 4 link suspension system, which directly replaces the factory leaf springs... exactly what the Mopar fanatics have been asking for!

It requires no specialty fabrication work, or modification to the factory frame rails. By eliminating the leaf springs, the handling, ride quality, and performance of these cars is drastically improved!

Now your Mopar can enjoy hardcore performance... ultimate ride quality... and cool, low stance in one bolt-on package!

The last episode of Muscle Car on Spike TV showed them installing the front suspension with this kit.  They also used a brand new protype k-member.  Forgot who was making it, but I have the episode recorded.   From what they showed, the kit requires some fabrication skills (that might be because of the k-member they used) and it still has the same down fall as a coil conversion.  The pressure that is put on the shock mounts.  That area was not designed to hold the front weight of the car.  I would think there would be a lot of flex.

The K-member was a prototype.  The K-memeber is based on a NASCAR K-member.

Just forwarded through the episode.  The Air-Ride they put on was a little more beefy than the bolt on version.  That was why it required the fabrication.
As for the K-member it was being made by Red Top Speed Shop.  http://www.redtopspeedshop.com
Not much on their webpage about it.
