Give me a 5 way shock anyday. Plus the fact that "What if it blew a line or bag in a corner" type of worry. I already blow off wheels, not a bag too.  |
I don't know.. we ran g/28 with upgraded leafs and some suspension stuff. I handled well in our tests through the cones and skidpad.
We installed the Shockwave and it didn't hurt performance at all AND made the ride on the street much better.
Shocks can blow just like bags and todays bags really only blow due to abbrasion damage (and that's a bad install)
Also, driving an Air Ride car is a lot different than driving an Air Ride Shockwave car.
Read the story above and you can get the performance numbers. It's not as good as some more race inspired suspensions but it certainly is far from sucking in regards to performance
