What are the AC options on an 80's model when using dropmember with 20's?

timmytimm3 · 07-09-2013, 09:44 AM

The first "version 4" C4 dropmember

wayno · 07-10-2013, 10:30 AM

I'll add a few pictures to the mix - getting the front tied up now.

Mine is a '78 with 255/35/20 up front. A/C didn't fit. With a little modification it might though, it's close.

Nate's C4 stuff is sooo sweet. I bought a Corvette just to run it, but then couldn't cut it up

The only thing for me was the cost of the shockwaves were too much for my budget. If I win the lotto, I would run Nate's C4 front/rear in a second.

I'm running it with coilovers for that reason. Plus air management cost and complexity.

2 months and 2 weeks still no show of the parts.. That's 10 weeks total..............

I wanted to run the select ride Shockwaves. Similar to the FX3 suspension that was on my C4 Corvette using an actuator adjusted valve to switch from performance to comfort mode on the fly. :drool:

After my first air truck, I will never go back to static dropped vehicles again.

I was thinking about calling it the Version: "Stop wasting my time changing things and move on to another product already". But felt that it didn't roll off the tongue very well.

This will just be known as the Dropmember (technically it's the 5th design version and incorporates a few touches from each of the previous ones along with a few added features).... I am done tweaking and changing things... for now.

I am extremely pleased with this one... the new equipment has really been paying off.

Nate

Dinos63 · 08-20-2013, 03:23 PM

very very nice ....my next project will have one for sure

thotfulspot · 08-20-2013, 03:40 PM

Which years will that be for? Looks like it might allow more exhaust clearance for the trifives.

This design is used for all our current kits 55-87. Exhaust clearances should be the same.

JNJchev77 · 08-20-2013, 03:48 PM

Redesign every 18 months/ 2 years = Smart Business!!

New DM looks killer Nate! My next project will have one... Maybe an F100 DM

ulakovic22 · 08-20-2013, 03:49 PM

Whose arms are those, MMW?

Oh well. I was hoping there would be a solution besides Delmo's custom manifolds for LS motors.
