I got my air ride installed and ready to ride. It took about 7 beers and a couple hours. Pretty basic install. I have about 1,000 miles on this set up and no complaints yet. I did have the original solenoid fail on me so I replaced it with my extra one. I rode 2 up for about 50 miles and no problems there either.
Had to cut a little off the bottom of the shock hole spacer (stuck out to far) and added a 1/2x5/8x1 insert to have the bolt fit right. The top shock hole I just drilled it out to a 1/2in. I added longer grade 8 bolts top and bottom just from piece of mind. Total cost was under $150. I got all the air fittings from work and had a extra Nitrous solenoid laying around which saved a little money.
I mounted the compressor and solenoid on the left side behind the cover. The switch is mounted on the down tube above the trans and below the seat.
Rolling it around the garage with all the air let out nothing rubs at all.
This is what I have.
Monroe MA785 Max-Air Corvette Air Shocks ($60 Amazon) Max height 14in, no air height 9.75in.
Viair 92C 12 Volt Air Compressor Kit ($65 Amazon)
used NOS solenoid (Leftover from my racing days)
Lines are from the shocks and extra from auto parts store
Fittings I got from work (push lock style)
Universal 12 Volt Remote Control Kit (just for fun) ($20 Amazon)
3 position switch from auto store ($5 Autozone)
I don't have the remote hooked up yet but it will be next on the list.
You can ready the original post from 999 customs and get all the info there.
