Anybody using dash controlled air shocks ???

My regular garage is on a hill and my air-dam scrapes all the time.
So, air shocks might just help me clear the tarmac..........

Could one remove the coil springs and run front air shocks like a poor man's air ride?

Could one remove the rear spring and run 2 air shocks instead?

Hmmmm......

Air shocks by themselves won't support the weight of the car.

Are you talking about putting air shocks on the front? I don't think they make them.

If practical ... have you tried backing in reverse?

Thats why I decided against a Diablo for the moment.

Don't intend to be a smartazz here ... but if you're in the Diablo bracket ... why couldn't you have some grading/contouring done along your lane?

I'd personally think it'd be less expensive to have some concrete work done to make it easier to get in and out of.

air shocks aren't a very good performing shock either. probably better to redo driveway so you'll never have problems with any car.
