Default Shocks

I haven't heard of that before unless it's something new, but Chassis Tech makes an airbag kit, with this you can go ffront back and side to side and not fill up at a gas station... or whatever, check out www.airbagit.com

i've heard of what you're talking about. air suspension of some sort. i know busses use them in public transit that lower and raise for traveling and such. i believe some of the newer lexi use them in their suv models but i'm not sure. by having this type of "air suspension" you can change the feel of the car making it more sporty or luxurious handling. idk much otherwise - do some googling

I know exactly what you are talking about, and one very important phrase comes to mind DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!! These shocks are used by the newer generation who are into hopping up and older car, early to mid 70's, to give it an air like ride quality. Whatever happened to actually restoring an automobile???? In actuality, these shocks are horrible, and the cars that used them bounce like a low rider at a mariachi gathering. The ride quality is terrible and you will spend a fortune replacing them FREQUENTLY!!!! I swear that my brother put them on an 89 Lincoln Town car, and every other week or so he was under the car replacing them after he had blown one or more. Please, for your own sake and lowered frustration levels DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!
