We had a customer drop off his '67 Cadillac Coupe DeVille earlier this week for an airbag kit. I made sure to get some shots of the installation so you can see what's involved.
Here's how it rolled in:
Looking great already, but we can get it dropped a bit lower on those big wheels! With the car up on the lift, the stock coil springs and shocks come off at all four corners. There's plenty of room out back to put the air bags in place of the coils, but up front some trimming of the factory spring pockets is necessary:
We used a set of coil cups top and bottom to position the airbag away from the sway bar and steering:
Out back, a set of coil cups up top, with a plate bolted to the lower spring perch, and we're all set!
After some plumbing and wiring, our customer was ready to hit the road in style!
There's NOTHING wrong with tucking rim on a classic Caddy! These cars just beg to be dropped, with coil springs at all four corners and lots of room to work with.

I purchased the level 2 kit for my 68 deville. I'm having trouble figuring out which cups go where it came with 2 shorter cups and 2 taller ones. also 2 different size bags. do the larger ones go in the rear?
