Curious...Anyone put an air suspension in a C5
I am curious if anyone out there has ever put an air suspension in their C5. The kind with the airbags that you can raise and lower with the flip of a switch. You see them alot in hot rods and customs. Again just curious to see if anyone has ever done it to a vette.
Also if you have what company have you gone with and what were your impression, likes, gripes, etc etc.

I have never seen it on a C5, but it can be done fairly cheap.
I dont think anyone in their right mind would do it though, unless it was purely a show car and didnt touch the street ever.

Ive always wanted a project car with airbags, Call me crazy, but i think PT cruisers look neat sitting on the floor. Ive been looking for an S10 for a DD, but it wouldent be long before i notched the frame and put it on hydrolisc or air, I have a problem. Id love to see a C5 frams on the ground, any photochop artists out there?

thats the worst thing you can do to a daily driver.. trust me i know i had it on my show civic back in the days...
for around town its fine but for daily driver its a nightmare and not to mention that the vette is a much heavier car then a civic it will be even worse everytime you hit a dip on the road

A pretty good one, but the notable flaw is you can still see the original location of the rear fender lip (in front of the rear tire) on the slammed version.
