  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

A quick Airbag question

Discussion in 'The whoa and the sway.' started by 70gsrick, May 11, 2005.

    I just got some Air-Lift airbags from Jegs. They were out of stock on the part # I ordered last time for my 70 GS, so I let them replace them with another part # they told me would work. Well they got here and I'm pretty sure they are shorter, these I got today are 7 inches long and I think my other one was a least a couple of inches longer but the same diameter.

    The question is will these work? I know the longer ones aren't super long, it's not like they expand and lift the car but they do fill up more of the spring.

    Thanks
    Rick

    My understanding is that the air bags should fill up the spring pocket. Their purpose is to pre-load the springs for a stable launch and reduce/eliminate the twisting of the chassis.

    I don't know that they were ever meant to lift the car up at all. Mine were within 1/2" to 1" of filling the space with the weight of the car on the springs, if memory serves me right.
