Ridetech 1968-74 Nova Air Suspension System

Three Choices of Everything You'll Need!

Ridetech has made it even easier to "bag" your Nova or Ventura (GM X-body) by putting their quality engineered components into three different levels of complete packages for your car. No matter which one you choose, you will dramatically improve your handling and performance, while getting "down" with attitude, the way you want and your budget allows.

LEVEL 1 package

The LEVEL 1 system offers a more economical solution to gain the advantage of riding on air. It is the perfect choice if you just want to cruise your car to the shows. And with the upgrade options can be later equipped for any performance level.
The CoolRide front system consists of an airspring, a shock absorber, and all of the necessary mounting brackets and hardware. The CoolRide system is very simple to install with the airspring and new shock absorber replacing the old coil-spring and shock on the factory control arms. The front shock is relocated outside the control arm but the supplied shock bracket does not require welding, instead it is simply bolted on to the chassis. CoolRide offers great ride quality and years of reliable service.
The AirBAR provides the area of largest improvement in the handling and cornering performance. It eliminates the oem leafspring and replaces them with a 4-link rear suspension and the Black Series ShockWave airspring/shock absorber. The 4-link bars offer more precise positioning of the rear axle to eliminate flexing and increase stability through the corners.
The 3-gallon analog compressor kit allows true 4-way independent adjustment with the use of the RidePro valve body. It comes with easy to use analog gauges and electronic switches for accurate control while keeping operation simple and inexpensive.

LEVEL 2 package

The LEVEL 2 system has a couple of upgrades, over the level 1 package, that helps you to improve your next air-road experience.
First, Master Series Single Adjustable Billet ShockWaves, front and rear, that lets you adjust your shocks rebound rate for better ride quality and handling performance.
Second, new tubular StrongArms that provide a cleaner appearance and superior strength over the factory front control arms. StrongArms have an optimized ball joint angle to ensure no binding during extreme suspension travel.
The Ridetech Spindle offers 2 critical improvements. The spindle pin is raised by 2'' from OEM, effectively dropping the front of your car by 2''. Also, the upper balljoint mount is 1.75'' taller than OEM to improve the camber curve geometry. This allows the tire to lean into the turn instead of away from the turn, significantly improving cornering and handling.
The last upgrade is to the air system. Level 2 upgrades you to the RidePro e3 electronic controls offer three system air pressure presets to provide accurate adjustments with the touch of just one button on the digital control panel. And a 5-gallon air tank attached to dual compressors provide a quicker rise time.
