Rules state suspension must be standard factory equipment Air shocks are allowed. Any one ever ran air shocks? How did you set them up?

I would call and see if you can switch to coils...
From my experience and watching others with airbags, the car sits too low which causes the body to rip off of the frame, the rear to go down, or sheetmetal in your tires from lack of clearance(if not all of the above).
You may get lucky and everything go right, but thats what I've noticed.
Edit: jumped the gun. Thought it was fullsize

If it's a Panther (Vic/Grand Marquis/Town Car) rear coils are a direct swap. Easy job. Don't know about fronts.
Looking at the car on Google, it's the Fox body, similar to a T-Bird/Cougar.

OH !!! forgot about that one,,, here is a u tube video about it,,, www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjUzPLwlC8cthere seems to be more than just putting in springs from a t bird.. cause the lower arms are different and the top where the spring goes doesn't have a pocket.. I wonder about the rear now,, are you allowed solid suspension ? ..........lenny |
