    I have a 20 year old airbag system in my 51 Mercury. It's been really reliable with minimal issues. That said, I think it's getting long in the tooth and needs an upgrade.
    What advances have been made in the last two decades and where do I start (parts suppliers etc.) to get the ball rolling. Thanks for looking, Bumpstick

    My pops replaced the standard style air ride system in his 59 Chevy with a fancy computer controlled kind. From what he’s told me, it sounds like a lot more trouble with no benefit.

    I like the KISS method on mechanical things.

  3. Used the Ride Tech system a couple times
    Worked great. EZ to program

    might want to post this on the off topic forum though

    Since you're asking on the H.A.M.B., how about steel springs?
