Plenty of people use them for XRRA and you see them in a couple of low budget KOH rigs. But the reality is they are going to have the the same problems as BBCS's or any of the simple shocks. They just arn't going to last and will need to be rebuilt if you run them long/hard enough.

What was Jayson's problem?

It looked like he swapped out the shocks for steel rods after a little while. He had to have peed pink for a week after that.

I think mostly stability, granted was first time out with them but he went to coilovers before the Columbus race.

yeah airshocks are horrible

If you run the 2.5'sor so they should work pretty good.

I had 2.0 Saw airshocks in Powell and they beat the crap out of me. They got hot as hell and seemed to get stiffer. The CO's are way, Way smoother! Also a sway bar helped tremendously

I remeber watching you in powell this summer, the first lap looked nice, after that I tried not to look it hurt to watch. I think it was you anyway i think there was a couple trucks that ran air shocks.
