Thinking on juice now??? It was the practical way to go for me IMO...I didnt want to tear up the front end for bags, when a hydraulic cylinder fits in the shock tower. Easy money. The rear is just a bracket off the frame down to the axle. I'm running 3 leafs still with 3" blocks. Accumulator set up is a must or you will be bouncin like a lowrider. Takes a few hundred miles to break them in along with the cylinder O rings. I know you can get a two pump Street kit for around $1100.
How do you control ride height?

Isn't juice mostly for show with bags being more suited for actually improving the ride?
Oh GAWD!!! I can't believe I'm actually talking about slamming and bagging...

That's what I thought too, maybe not so much. Weekend research project coming up.Isn't juice mostly for show with bags being more suited for actually improving the ride?

Whatever direction you go, we'll need detailed pictures of the mods. Might convert a few guys here.

Ride height is controlled with the switchbox and knowing your car. Few quick hits of the switch and the car is where you want it. You could get crazy and come up with your own controls in the dash or something, but switchboxes are the most common with bags and juice.
Hydros and bags are set up for show these days. Chromed compressors, lines, tanks & pumps can make your trunk look sweet! Hydraulic technology has come a long way and with the four accumulators it rides better that my Ram truck with a 6" lift and I'm still in the break in period. Here's a few links and a pic of my car all the way up.

P.S. Roll into car show, everyone thinks it's bagged because everybody has bags, drop the car down without the annoying PPPPSSSSSSHHHHHHHTTTTT!!!! of air leaving your vehicle and compressors kicking on, people can't believe it juiced and your day is spent explaining how cool your **** is.

CCE is right down the road from my office. I'll have to stop in & see those boys next week.
Commando's car actually looks really cool, minus the stupid black windows. Even if you just put drop spindles on it to lower the center of gravity it would look & drive better.
Sled, how about some pictures of the switches?

I'll have to take a pic and let me know if you find a place that sells drop spindles for C bodys. So your in Kentucky? If you are there's a really cool chick at CCE named Erica.
I'm shocked.
I live in Columbus, OH but I chased a storm to Louisville. Trying to close my office here & get home....
C'mon! No limo tint?
