- Hey guys, this is by far the most unique upgrade you can to to your car, specifically a Corvette.
My car is a 2008 Corvette C6 Z06 with air cups on each corner. The Corvette needs extensive front end work to make it fit. A new more compact sway bar such as a Pfadt or Ridetech Muscle Bar is needed. Rear control arm need minor clearancing.
I ran a similar setup on my BMW E92 as well, so check that demo video out also.
u seem to be the only person on the internet that has done this on a vette. so were going to need to see how you did it. the modifications needed. i found the air cups and coilovers just need to know what needs modified before hand . thanks
Second this. Been searching forever on how to do this on my c5z
I'm currently searching no luck it's uncharted waters lol
Ok everyone. I think I know how to get this done after a lot of research.
First, you are probably going to need to get a set of bc coilovers, it doesn’t matter what series they offer, they just need to have inverted shocks. (This will work with other inverted shock coilovers but this explanation is for what I found for BC coilovers)
Next after you get your coilovers and take the springs off, measure the shaft thickness and order the right air cups. Then you’re going to need a wrench (possibly a slim one) and an adjustable gland nut wrench in order to take off the parts you need in order to mount the air cups.
I can to this conclusion after looking at lots of pics and Taylor Rays vid "how to make your coilovers go lower". At the 2min 35sec mark he shows a bare BC c5 corvette coilover shock. Please look at that video and everything I explained will make sense.
After you take off those parts you should be able to install the air cups. Please note that I have not actually done this irl, but once I save enough I will attempt to do it. Just know that it is possible as there is another person who has done this but on a c5 corvette.
Can you comment the brand of coilovers and pneumatic caps and air system please. I can't get it, I try to find the brand's and model but no lock I would appreciate it. Thanks
Fortune auto says they don’t make the air cup coilover for the corvette and bc racing is upside down so what did u use ?
Definitely doing this to mine. Did you make an install video by chance? Also how’d your run your lines. I’m thinking of going with a ENDO CVT tank.
For your aircups, did you modify the top mount area? To accommodate the aircups? Did you get the 110mm or the 120mm? I'm trying to fit one for my c5z and without cutting up the mount support, look like it will fit. Also BC coilovers are 12.5mm shaft right?
trying to do the same
ok ok with all the vets out there is there a turn-key kit? c5 c6 etc. 😎thanks
1. Yes yes yes I’m doing this next month.
2. What are you using for Wash and wax?
Bad ass ride brother!🤘
Thanks bro!
Sir. Thank you so much.
I asked bc directly and they said the ds series wouldnt work as they have non removable parts im so confused lol?
Did they specify what parts are non removable? I’ve been researching a lot about doing this and I think I have a slight idea about how to get the Coilover apart.
@josephneloms3033 yeah apparently that dude was wrong. What he was saying didn't make sense because you can change the spring and if you're doing that you have to be able to take it off. I've done alot of asking around at shops in my area they all said the ds and the br series should be fine and fit the aircups worst case you may need a shorter spring.
Nice set up Bro👍🏾
Thanks bro I love it!
I'd like to get the list of parts you used. I'm at least wanting to do the front of my C6
Ever get it done ? I can’t any info on it
@@djnemesis82pluss1877 still looking for a list of compatible parts for the C6 Corvette
@@robertmelton8055 if that’s a question…then yes
There’s a $7k kit specifically for the c6 however i think he retrofit the “Stance A.C.S” from z1
Is the brand and model of the air cups you used a secret?

I’ve got so many questions
Ever thought about street racing with that?
I need this modification. I’m an industrial air compressor technician. How loud would you say units like these are?
They are pretty loud, especially being right behind me
How is the ride quality of these?
Its dependent on the coilover. The air cups have no affect on ride, when they are deflated. It acts as a spacer.
You can't really drive very fast, under 35 mph, when inflated due to spring being compressed (coil bind)
Theme valves gonna get trashed if u don’t have an inline dryer
valve issues on a c6z, eh?! 😏
Just stay stock. It's a great upgrade for the money.
