Pulling the air ride out and putting in a Hydroholics 2 pump, 6 dump, 4 accumulators, and 4 Kinetik HC1800's. I took some before pics with the air ride to show the difference in lift and drop between the two different setups. I believe this is an Air Ride Technologies kit in the car now. I took it for a spin around the block and honestly, the car rides pretty good with the air setup but is a little stiff over the bigger bumps. It does make a lot of noise for an air kit though.
Anyways... I got a little done today on it. Switches are mounted in a piece I made that goes where the cup holders are. I don't normally like covering up the cup holders, but the owner insisted. I also got the switch wire and ground disconnect ran to the trunk. Then I removed all the valves, compressors, and tanks from the trunk. I have a few holes to fill before the Herculiner goes down.
On to the pics.

It's hard to tell in the pics, but the wheels are not quite tucking. Tires are, but not the wheels. We shall see how low it goes on juice.

Lol, that's the same exact thing I did for the kid in Tucson. Made a cover for the cup holders and laid the 4 switches in a row. Made it out of plastic, looks factory in his.

I went this route instead of ABS plastic because he has already sueded some of the panels in the car and so it matches.

Yeah, I was originally doing it in MDF but ended up going to plastic route. Pat wanted them in the cup holder to. Looks good though. That Camaro looks badass in that color with those wheels. Are you going to do 10" front and 8" rear like we did? Are you going to try and keep most of it hidden in the spare well? The one we did was SS with the battery where the spare tire would have been so everything had to go in trunk, is this one set up differently?
