Before i put a set on my lt1 ta, I want to know if they are good to put on it or should i run with a set of standard shocks. Im trying to help get rid of some of the weight transfer. Any help would be nice.

Get rid of weight transfer????? I have had air shocks on several vehicles. What I have found is they are extremely harsh and will bounce on courderoy pavement. If that is the effect you are looking for then go right ahead.

I would normally suggest adjustable shocks for both the front and rear so you can balance them for your driving situation.

One cool thing about air shocks is I had a small air pump and a switch located on the dash so i could raise or lower the back end as desired without leaving my seat. ;)

They're great if you want wheel hop and a harsh ride.

I would like to know more about these too. I am looking to reduce the body roll in my Formula and dont know where to start.

Should I get adjustable shocks and new springs?

Air shocks aren't going to help weight transfer or body roll. The only thing air shocks will do is raise the rear of the car and screw up the ride.

And give you great wheel hop action! ;)
