Thinking of getting a pair for the rear of my camaro which is strictly street driven and lowered. Are these a good choice for a daily driven car? do they have good durability? thanks

I just did a google on them and found this:

You gonna haul boats with the Camaro?

lol nope planning on hauling a lot of *** though Others have used these as drag shocks but I was wondering how they were on the street. since they are adjustable via air I would think they would be a good choice

I have had them on the car since at least 3 years ago. Put them
on after growing to displike the ride with Bilstein rears and the
Hotchkiss springs and the dragging-*** look after the spring swap.
I'm pretty content with them, the car feels well controlled and is
somewhat more comfortable than with the harder Bilsteins, so I
guess I gave up some damping. But not enough to bounce. I
eventually went to stock rear springs minus donut so now I don't
even put air in them anymore (but I set them up with individual
Schraders so I could make like a "drag bag" if I wanted).

So far, so good.

Never tried jacking it up for drag racing, but I figure you could
get back to stock geometry on a lowered car with a bit of air,
which might net you some more bite for launch.

You don't get to adjust damping, you are adjusting "effective
spring rate" with the air pressure and it's only adjustable toward
"more". But seems like they maybe have covered higher than
stock spring rates as a result.

Thanks! how would you compare them comfort/handling wise to the stock decarbon rear shocks (if you ever ran them)? I was thinking of going Bilstein but I think I will give these a try especially if they are more comfortable on the road and being able to adjust the effective spring rate. Would you say the handle as well or better than the Bilsteins?

Rise from the dead !anyone using these? Thinking of getting some but would like to hear more of what people think of them from experience.

Just threw a set away last weekend. They were warn and tired but did still hold air. I replaced them with kyb adjustable and the ride did improve. Not really a fair comparison.
