They suck unless you actually like wheel hop.

Re: air shocks

What are you planning to use the air shocks for?

Air shocks were generally used to jack the rear end of the car for large tires, or just for the "raked" look that was popular in the 60's. I had them on my (then new) 1966 GTO, and then on a 1968 Firebird 350.... but I haven't seen anyone use them since then.

For drag applications, some people will use an Air Lift bag in the right rear spring to control body roll on launch.
