air shocks on rear

[bobbyspider]

yes pics please

[1chrisapple]

Im gping to get pix of them once i get the correct length one in there.and part #s for them and from what ive read you should keep the shocks seperate from each otherr not teed together.bc when u take a corner the air on the outside will transfer to the inside shock if that makes sense

pix, we need PIX!!!!!

So i installed some shocks and they will work great.i just had the wrong length ones the first time.so i will have longer ones tuesday.but from just bouncing on the rear bumper it seems like this is going to work good

Upon investigation u are right so the closest to stock air shock from monroe is a ma820 almost identical .and run$65 at oriellys and have lifetime warranty.

here is a Monroe ma815 air shock specs

now if anyone thinks this wouldn't work let me know the compressed length is more and the extended is more. im not looking to lower just stay at stock height and support weight so give me some input

uh, thats Front struts, I thought you wanted the air shocks on the Rear.

or you could go with an ma814 air shock that way you could go a little lower if you want and still has close to stock extended height.i think im going to try this one

yea I used to be into to the vw diesels had 3 tdi at one point.but they seem to always need some kind of part and there not cheap.but with some injectors a hybrid turbo and tuned ecu iwas making pretty good power on one of them and still getting 46mpg.

I hauled a festiva 400 miles on a dolly and got 36 mpg with AC on in my TDI.

That's not a $500 car though :/

The craze was always there, but most of us owned multiple vehicles: Festiva for commuting, some truck for hauling. The craze is ON when member after member proves the festiva pulls things it shouldn't, and gets the job done @30mpg LOADED. Not even a minitruck 22r can pull that off work all day get that kind of fuel savings and not ride like a skateboard.

anybody know what the extended length of a festy rear strut is and the compressed is. there are some air shock sets on raockauto for like $56

[1chrisapple]

dang I didn't know this many would be interested in this.seems like a craze now lol.
so if someone beatsme to it find a shock to work and post it up or if u already have an idea.
