Air shocks?? | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I've got a lowered widebody CMC. I just dropped the rear 1 notch and it looks great! There is tons of room on the passenger side between the tire and fender lip... However the drivers side is very close and touches on acceleration or a bump.. Has anyone put air shocks on one? I would love to have a firmer ride as well as pick the car up just a little bit..

If you have air shocks, which ones/part number maybe?

Thanks guys!

Sounds like you need to reindex the driver's side to account for driver weight.

I have rear air shocks on my IM just for that reason...raise it up a bit and stiffen it up a bit. Don't know the part number but they were something like $60 for the pair. Look like this..
