Air Ride Tech
« on: February 13, 2008 - 12:11:52 PM »
Does anyone have or know anyone that has installed Air Ride Technologies suspension kit on there Challenger? I was wondering how it works as far as handling and how reliable it is. the system im going to use is the sigle adjustable shockwaves and tubular upper control arms, and the air bar 4 link suspention kit. is there anything i should know before spending about $5,000 on this kit?

$5k? I thought it was almost double that...I know I will be using their kiton my 71 Barracuda, but it won't be till later in the year ,it supposed to be some high-tech self adjusting/leveling system, if you beat me to it, let us know how it goes, if not, I'm sure I'll make a build-up thread on my Cuda

I haven't heard of anyone that's installed the front suspension.  However, there are a number of us that are installing the rear 4-bar setup.  Mine will be installed soon.  Here's some links:

The various air options drive the price a lot (number of tanks, pumps, automatic height adjustment, etc.).

We have it on our challenger.

After air-ride themself put it in, we've had to do quite a bit of fixing. They've fronted the parts and have been helpful. But geez, for what the kit cost and all, it doesn't seem quite install it and go away. New Shock, line, sensors, etc, etc. Its very cool, ours has been pretty in need of attention for 2800miles. If we had some instruction on the full setup and dialing in on the suspension, or they had the time to do it, I'd give it a better chance to be more road friendly, so I'm not the most educated on the system. Just my  :2cents:

yes please tell more about the problems you've been having with the system. i love cruising in my car and drive it every chance i get. i dont want to spend a ton of money replacing parts every 2 or 3 thousand miles. i dont have the money for that. now im having second thoughts.
