What else do I need to install this air suspension kit?

This kit includes the air springs, shocks, brackets, and hardware. You will need a separate air compressor, air tank, and air lines to operate the system. It's also recommended to have a way to control the air pressure, such as manual valves or an electronic management system.

How does the CoolRide system change the ride quality?

The CoolRide air springs allow you to adjust the vehicle's ride height and spring rate by changing the air pressure. This generally results in a smoother, more comfortable ride compared to traditional coil springs, especially over rough surfaces. You can also lower the vehicle for a custom look when parked.

Are the included shocks specific to this air suspension kit?

Yes, the included RQ-S shock absorbers are specifically designed and tuned by Ridetech to work in conjunction with the CoolRide air springs. This ensures proper damping control and complements the adjustable nature of the air suspension system.

Product Details

This Ridetech rear CoolRide kit is specifically for your 1965 through 1970 Pontiac Full-size car, including models like the Bonneville, Catalina, Executive, Grand Prix, and Star Chief. What you get in the box is a complete package designed to replace your stock rear suspension components with an air spring system. This includes the air springs themselves, all the necessary mounting brackets, and a pair of Ridetech's RQ-S shock absorbers, along with all the hardware needed for installation. It’s a comprehensive solution if you're looking to upgrade the ride quality and adjust the stance of your classic Pontiac.

The heart of this system is the CoolRide air spring technology. Unlike traditional coil springs, air springs use compressed air to support the vehicle's weight, allowing for a much wider range of spring rates and ride heights. This means you can dial in a softer ride for cruising or lower the vehicle for a more aggressive look when parked. The included RQ-S shocks are tuned to work with the air springs, providing controlled damping that complements the adjustable nature of the air suspension. Ridetech is known for well-built suspension components, and this kit is designed to integrate smoothly with your vehicle's frame and suspension points, making the conversion a straightforward process for someone familiar with suspension work.

When installing this kit, you'll want to ensure you have a way to manage the air pressure, typically with an onboard air compressor and tank system, which is sold separately. Having adjustable ride height and a smoother ride is a significant change from stock, and this kit provides the parts to achieve that. It's a popular choice for owners looking to give their classic Pontiac a more comfortable ride and a custom stance without sacrificing the classic look.
