[Chevelle-list] Air Suspension

[Clint Hooper]

ART's digital controllers are worthless,IMO. Trust me,you are NOT the only one having problems with that set-up. Their sending units are what causes all the problems. I raised so much hell with them that they traded me a new analog controller set-up for my old digital stuff. Now,the system works like it's supposed to. The only downside to an analog controller is you lose the auto-ride and remote capabilities. My auto-ride never worked correctly anyway so that wasn't a big loss. Being able to operate the system remotely with a key fob might have been kinda cool but I never got around to spending the extra money before converting over to the analog controller.
Anyone want to buy my complete Air Ride set-up?

  Clint,

      Do you have one of Air Ride's digital controlers, with the auto ride feature?  If so, I'm curious.  I'm on my 4th ECU now, and they tell me that I'm the only one having these problems....

    What's your honest opinion of the Dakota Digital controller? ART's digital controller is a POS.

      I have shockwave coil-overs on front and tapered bags on rear.  Installed a little over a year now and doing fine.

       

      For the front is used Air Rides kit with lower control arm and shockwave, before they started calling them 'Strong Arm'.

       

      I used upper control arms from Speedway Motors that are adjustable.

       

      The rears are the tapered bags that fit in the spring pockets.

       

      I used the Big Red control valves and controlled with Dakota Digital controller.  I also used their Instrument system for the dash gauges.

        You planning to run bags or Shockwave coilovers?

          Forgot to mention that I also used lower 'A' arms from shockwave set up from Air Ride Technology while installing air bags.
