[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 494202, member: 1384"] The inconsistency of air shocks when worked hard makes them very undesirable for go-fast use. On a bouncer, it might work ok since you wouldn't ever heat up the shock. The issue with an air shock is the first time you cycle it fast or bottom it out (ie jumping) it will foam the oil. I could see trying to run minimal oil in the air shock just to provide a bit of lubrication... But then it is just an air cylinder. You could always try it, make sure there is room to mount a set of 2.0 coilovers in place of the 2.5 air shocks. [/QUOTE]
