Air shocks or not? • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

I am thinking of replacing my current worn out air shock setup with another set of air shocks. Is that a good idea or not? I don't like the rear end to jacked up and I certainly don't like it sagging either. My leaf springs appear to be okay. I use my car for short weekend rides, so I am not that concerned about an ultra smooth ride. All opinions welcome.

If you don't really need them forget about air shocks.

Get yourself a set of KYB gas shocks. They are cheap and work well.

Are they available in the UK, Dave?

Dunno. But I have a feeling someone I know got some over here. It might have been Jason Gilmore. Then again I might have just made that up.

I got mine a few years ago now from PST in the USA along with some other suspension stuff. They seem to work as well as some rather more expensive shocks I have used on other cars in the past.

I agree with dave no air shocks unless you need them. let the air out of your air shocks and see if you like the way your car sits if it sits to low then I would go with the air shocks or fix the springs and go with some good shocks.

I got a full set of KYB's recently from Summit, to replace my old air shocks. They make a tremendous difference in ride quality and handling, well worth the money.
