Air Sox/Coil's/Coilovers............

[Shawn]

I'm really having a hard time coming up with the money to buy the coilovers for the rear of my Cruiser project. I'm also having a hard time figuring out why 2.5 Air Shox won't work on the rear. I can not find any information on the weight capacity of these shox. At this point if I can't do Air Shox I might just have to put the old coils back on...... OMG, I just don't know what to do.... I really want to run coilover but at $550.00++ per I just can't afford that right now.

I need input

A: Airshox will work fine.

B: Coilovers should be closer to maybe $450 per corner.

C: Coils work too. Others are just much nicer, better quality shock absorber, more adjustments, etc.

Check into the prices on Fox's. (coilovers) I got mine from a desert car place and paid about $300 each....If you get them I will tell you the secret of how to get good/cheap coils...

I cant remember where I saw it at, But someplace on Pirate there is a thread about weights, recomendations and such. I have it bookmarked at home, When I get there I will see if I can find and post it.

I just bought the Air Shox.............. One company wanted $300.00 each and another wanted $350.00.....
I will do Coilovers on the front next winter.

When I was looking into air's last spring I found the capacity.... but now I can't find it again. IIRC it's 1,000lbs per for the 2's and a bit more for the 2.5's

Ya, I keep seeing the 1000lb thang and everyone says the 2.5 are double... so,,,,
