    NYer Rear Air Shocks

    I've installed some MP autox springs in the back of my NYer and it sits noticeably lower in the rear now. I have Konis with Eibachs on the front and I'm forced to question if I should ditch the air shocks in the back. Any input from those who've done something like this before?

    Do they make a shorter air shock?
    Does your load leveling function properly? You might be able to adjust the arm to maintain a lower ride height and still have leveling.

    They work really well right now. It does seem like they'll have to air up for a bit each time I start the car, but I don't drive it every day.

    When they air up does the car have some rake to it or sit level? If it has some rake, adjusting the sensor would get it to sit level. If you decide to ditch the system I may be interested in it.

    It sat pretty level before when I added the front Konis. We'll see how it sits when I fire it up again. If I get rid of the system I'll let you know.
