Hey guys,
I need to come up with some options as far as suspension for my '65 Chevelle. I'm at the point now that within the next week or so I need to let the shop that will be doing all the work know which route I want to go. I need some help!!

Ultimately what I'm looking for is it to handle "better then stock".. Is Airride the way to go for me or is there alternative options out there for my application that would better suit my needs? I really don't think I will be doing any autocrossing or racing with it at all. Mainly just a cruiser...

Here is what I got so far: '65 Chevelle, fully shaved body (handles, door locks, antenna's, firewall, drip rails, moldings) Fuel injected 502 with F.A.S.T engine management, 4L60E Tranny, Boze Forged Shifter wheels 18x8 (245/35/18) and 20x10 (305/25/20) gloss black centers with polished deep lips....

The cars stance is a huge factor for me which is why I am swaying toward Airride due to its adjustability. Do you suggest going with their StrongArm setup with the shockwaves or just stick with their CoolRide setup? ANY info. would be great guys.

Look into coupling an Air Ride setup with a set of our AFX spindles. the Air Ride will give you an excellent ride on the street and tons of ride height adjustablilty, but it does NOT change the terrible A body geometry. Our Tall AFX spindle with steering arms will take car of the ill handling and bumpsteer.

Tito,
Thanks for the info! Visited your site for the first time, the AFX Spindles look like a very trick product.. A few questions: Does it matter which Air Ride setup I go with (StrongArm, CoolRide) or your spindles will work with both? I'm planning on running a set of Wilwood brakes, those spindles won't matter with that, right? Are you familiar with the Air Ride setups? Which would you recommend?
Thanks

I'd look at the Strong arm Air Ride setup to go with our spindles. The Wilwood brakes would need to be ordered as a C5/C6 Corvette to work on our spindles, but your 18" front rim will have no problems there either.
