i have found a supplier for air shocks, i am having some made for my corsa, compressor in the boot, dash control. fully adjustable ride height on rear of car, prob bout 3" of adjustment, so can go proper low!
shouldn't cost me any more than 150-200 for the lot! rear only tho.
cant wait, jus gotta get all the measurements of the std rear shocks to him, with the types of mounts and i am dont, will be bout a week from then, so when i do my rear brakes ill send them off, and let u guys know how things go.

the guy is a trader at the autojumble i go to regular, never seen them on his stand before, so i got talking, they are only rears, i am getting the compressor myself as he does not supply them, they do have a warrenty but not sure how long, he doesn't do them for corsa as it stands but will get some made for me if i get him the measurements.
will soon see what kind of quality they are!

sounds like a piston and compressor that simply raises the rear end? i don't understand how the rear suspension will operate?

its literally an airbag in the middle of a shockabsorber, the airbag is under pressure, works like a normal shocker but using the airbag instead of the stantion and piston in oil or gas.
get it?
