Got Air, can I still drop her 2" and new PCM?
I contacted Air Ride Technologies and they told me that I can drop my front, but not the rear! I have an air assisted sus on my 97 SSE. The pump went out a while back and I was considering an Air Ride kit until I found out that I could only do the front! I would like to put a 2" drop on it...is this Possible? What kits are out there that would work? Also I am ordering a PCM from INTENSE and am hoping to get the gains I AM LOOKING FOR. Should I install a 180 stat with this PCM? Also does anyone know of any other upgrades assosiated with the PCM. This is not a stage 1 it'* just the regular PCM, because I have a stock CAM. Let me know if anyone knows of any other mods that would help with this PCM.

FAN?
Also I was wondering about the high speed fan switch! Is there a relay that you can buy or do you need a new fan or what? Wont the pcm to take care of the fan? I've got to do something about running 220 right now!

And yes, get the 180* t-stat -if not for the PCM, do it at least for protection against a failed upper intake.

I have the air ride on mine too. I have been causually looking into the posibility of a 1-2" drop. To do this you would need to either a) remove the air ride setup completely ( and this means pump and all), or B) fabricate a new extenstion arm for the sensor on your rear control arm so you can adjust the air ride system to accomidate a drop in height. The sensor is on your rear right lower control arm if memory serves me correctly.

Do you think I could switch out the rear of a Bonneville without air and use a drop spring kit on it? or is there even one out there for that application?
