Air Bag suspension on '78?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mattrix:
did some web searching, seems to be a difficult project idea... i checked the www.ridetech.com and they don't do anything for it, it seems that the problem is suffered by many vette drivers yet there isn't much done about it? even the air bag companies put it in the "too hard" basket...?

Vette Obsessed:
With Vettes being unpopular as the type of vehicle to get the airbag treatment or the mods that go with it, it is unlikely that anyone makes a kit.

Your best bet locally would be to try one of the companies that do airbags for minitrucks locally.

Airbags are not a mod I'd go for (it's a handling thing) but I certainly wouldn't be put off by someone saying it is too hard - I hear that all too often regarding Corvettes. :an  Unfortunately the thing that often comes after the "too hard" comment is often a nice big bill. :ado

Mattrix:
yeah, that last bit is the main part i'm worried about. anything's really possible, it just depends how much you wanna pay... :(
i realise the handling would be impaired, though i'm not buying the car for it to be an amazing handler (i've heard that the older yankee cars go fast in a straight line, but aren't so quick to turn or stop!), if it means i save money on repairing cracked spoilers, pipes, etc, then i'm all for it.

i might do some asking around and see if anyone i know has any ideas about airbags, see if i can find a mate of a mate that can hellp out :)

Vette Obsessed:
I just think it would be cool to drive somewhere and just park the car on it's framerails (so to speak).  Used to know a guy years ago with a sweet 55 Chevy who got airbags just for that reason. :v

77CVT:
wouldn't you have too find a place for the compressor??  It is hard enough trying to fit an overnight bag in a C3!  ;-)
