hi guy's whats the genral opinion on air shocks? in the process of getting some new springs from espo, but had considered air shocks, are these considered a bodge job over fitting new springs? also what do they handle like? also how much does a set of shocks cost? ta ta for now trev

Not good - it transfers all the strain and load to the Shock Tower/Reinforcement as opposed to the Springs.

It is good as a quick way to lift the car for tyre clearance and they worked well on a Beuwick I had when towing, but I do not think it is very kind to the Chassis.

Does not really improve ride quality either , just makes it more harsh.

Just my personal opinion.

Yep, Pete and Terry are right, took mine off and replaced 'em with KYBs.

will definetly go with new springs, my car has recently had kyb's fitted and i was loath to remove them, the replys you lads have given is what i suspected, but as i have no personal experience of using them i thought iwould ask, thanks a lot trev
