What do you all recommend for a setup?

Im going with Shockwaves and a Coolride Rear, with the strong arms on both setups. Now here are my questions...

Gallon Tank size?
Line size?
Single Adj or Double? Pros and cons of each?

Anything else I should be concerned with?

TIA!
Tony

I'm running shockwaves at all four corners, 5 gallon tank, and whatever their standard line size is--I want to say qarter inch, not sure.

Go double adjustable all the way. The tunability of the shocks has been absolutely key to ride quality on my car. Before I tuned the shocks out to my pressure settings, the ride was what you'd expect of most airbagged cars--choppy and loose. Now it's smooth, controlled, and composed under almost any situation. The only real advantage to singles is price.

1. What are you putting this under?
2. Are you wanting a fast system or something moderate and controllable..... I am assuming from being in this forum moderate and controllable..
3. What type of driving are you going to be doing with the car?

Tony,
This is going under a 79 Monte Carlo.
I want something moderate and controllable.
I'll be doing highway and street driving. The ability for it to handle is crucial. Would like a tighter ride and feel, compared to a soft, sluggish, floaty one.

Would the Coolride setup be ideal in the rear? Or should it be Shockwaves..? if they are available for my app.

The Shockwave won't fit so well without some fab. work, so I would just stick with the CoolRide. We do offer a set of rear arms for the G-body as well. Just don't forget to upgrade the standard shocks to a set of adjustables.

Shockwaves up front with a set of upper and lower StrongArms.

A 3 gallon tanks would be sufficient, but if you have the room a 5 is nice. I would look at either the ARC4000e2 or ARC4000L.

yup exactly..... on that car I would run a 4100e2 or LevelPro..... definitely upgrade the rear Cool-Ride shocks to the adjustable shocks
