Gabriel HiJacker Air Shocks? Anyone have experience with them/ recommend them??
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 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.
